Through video verification and content analysis, it was established that the clips have been generated and altered using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The AI technology has been used to clone the likeness and voices of NBS presenters, manipulating their speech and expressions to make it appear as though they made statements they never did.

Such synthetic media content is becoming increasingly common on social media platforms, where AI tools can easily generate realistic-looking videos to spread misinformation or satire disguised as legitimate news.

NBS Television has not published any of the videos appearing on the TikTok account. The misrepresentation of its presenters through AI manipulation distorts factual reporting and risks eroding public trust in credible media.
