Bar-Ilan University students have developed a project named FreeTruth, which uses AI to transform anti-Israeli videos into pro-Israeli content within 90 seconds. The primary goal is to rally Israel supporters in the media awareness struggle with minimum effort. The students plan to expand their AI-generated content from English to Spanish, French, Chinese, and even Arabic, to spread the Israeli perspective worldwide.
