The graphic is labeled as a product of The Remembrance Project, a group that documents and memorializes victims killed by illegal immigrants, but it is not clear whether the group had any role in the graphic's creation. The Remembrance Project's "Stolen Lives" memorial website honors dozens of victims in similarly formatted graphics, but one honoring a so-called Amelia Carter is not included among them. The Remembrance Project did not immediately return The Dispatch Fact Check's request for comment to confirm whether it produced the graphic.
The memorial graphic also included an alleged image of the victim, but the person depicted in the photo is not the deceased victim. According to Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California-Berkeley's School of Information and and expert in artificial intelligence imagery analysis, the image "does contain tell-tale signs" of being AI-generated. While Farid's analysis could not conclusively determine whether the photo is AI-generated -- because of the photo's low-quality resolution -- he did say the image's authenticity is "suspicious." Farid explained the image could be the product of a generative adversarial network (GAN) AI technology, which is capable of creating realistic, human-like faces of nonexistent people. "In particular, the tightly-cropped headshot, non-descript background, and alignment of the eyes are consistent with a GAN-generated face," Farid told The Dispatch Fact Check.
