Incident #1639
Turkish National Reportedly Posted a Purportedly AI-Generated Image Depicting Himself with Eric Trump While Promoting Trump Hotel Dubai
Description
Turkish national Melih Göğebakan reportedly posted a purportedly AI-generated image on LinkedIn depicting himself alongside Eric Trump while promoting the Trump Hotel Dubai project. The image appeared amid a broader online persona in which Göğebakan allegedly portrayed himself as closely connected to Trump-affiliated organizations and U.S. political figures. He was separately accused of visa-related fraud, though reporting does not establish that the AI-generated image caused those losses.
