AI-Generated Video of Rabbits on Trampoline Deceives Social Media Users

Brussels, Belgium – August 5, 2025 – A viral video circulating on social media platforms, especially TikTok, depicting six rabbits seemingly enjoying a trampoline session has been debunked as a fabrication created using artificial intelligence (AI). The video gained significant traction, leading many viewers to believe the footage was genuine.
