A video of China-made robots performing a classical dance at Disneyland in Shanghai

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerns a social-media video said to show Chinese-made robots performing a classical dance at Disneyland in Shanghai. The review reports that the video instead shows two classical dancers, Sophia Salingaros and Isha Parupudi, and says the original performance was Bharatanatyam—not a robot performance or a classical Chinese dance. It also notes that the video’s description did not identify Shanghai Disneyland as the venue. To investigate, the reviewers say they searched the internet using keywords and found an earlier version on IndianRaga’s YouTube channel. That upload is titled “Vahana Alarippu: Bharatanatyam Dance | Best of Indian Classical Dance.” According to the review, it is 23 seconds longer than the viral clip and has a different audio track. The reviewers identify the two people performing in that original video as Salingaros and Parupudi. The review’s account therefore identifies the clip’s source and performers, rather than relying only on the social-media post’s description. The reported comparison also supplies relevant context missing from that description: the matching performance was uploaded by IndianRaga in 2017, and the reviewers found no mention in its description of Disneyland, Shanghai. The supplied excerpt does not explain how the original dancers’ identities were independently verified, so the conclusion here is limited to the methods and findings the review reports.

A Leeds, au Royaume-Uni, le concept de ville de 15 minutes devient réalité avec des caméras de reconnaissance faciale.

Publisher’s rating: Non. La circulation autour de la City Square, une place du centre-ville de Leeds, est actuellement repensée afin de laisser plus de place aux piétons et aux cyclistes. Les caméras qui ont été installées aux feux de signalisation fonctionnent avec des capteurs, et sont utilisées pour améliorer la fluidité du trafic. Elles ne sont pas équipées d’un système de reconnaissance faciale.

Mulher artificial, fabricada na China, foi ja lançada no mercado local. A carne do corpo é feita de material 100% Fanta Flesh com partes de Silicone. Uma única carga funcionará por 72 horas sem interrupção. Sem alma.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The claim repeats a viral message asserting that China had launched “Hoori,” an artificial woman made of Fanta Flesh and silicone, able to operate for 72 hours on one charge and having no soul. The review reproduces this wording among several circulating versions and says the story also claimed a price of R$200,000 and that the product would be introduced in India. The review concludes that the supposed product was not real. To check the story, the review describes searching for reports about the alleged launch and finding no confirmation in reliable sources, including no support for the stated price. It also says that searches for the content in English turned up debunks from several countries. The article notes warning signs in the viral message—vague sourcing, alarmist tone, spelling errors, and no reliable sources—but does not rely on those features alone to establish its conclusion. The decisive explanation offered is that the figure shown in the circulating video was not a manufactured robot: the review identifies her as Chloe, an android character in a video game. It says the PlayStation YouTube channel’s video identifies the character and clarifies that the footage is computer animation, not an interview with a real woman or a filmed prototype. Thus, the review connects the alleged product to fictional game imagery rather than evidence of a Chinese launch.

بررسی ادعای اغراق‌آمیز نقش هوش مصنوعی در طرح عفاف و حجاب

Publisher’s rating: در صورتی که دیتابیس کاملی از تصاویر مختلف افراد یک منطقه، شهر یا کشور موجود باشد، تعداد کافی دوربین‌های پیشرفته برای کنترل و نظارت آن منطقه تهیه شده‌باشد؛ (مشابه آنچه که در سال‌های گذشته در برخی شهرهای چین انجام شده) با توسعه الگوریتم‌های شناسایی چهره می‌توان هویت افراد را شناسایی کرد. اما کماکان مشکل اصلی جمهوری اسلامی معرفی و آموزش الگوریتمی برای تشخیص میزان پایبندی حجاب به هوش مصنوعی است. مشکلی که تا رفع آن در آینده کوتاه مدت بعید به نظر می‌رسد.
