In his latest swipe at the BBC, Donald Trump has claimed the British broadcaster used AI to doctor his January 6 Capitol speech, which the BBC vehemently denies.
Speaking with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, Trump, who is suing the BBC for $10 billion, said the controversial Panorama documentary that the BBC has admitted edited his speech to create a false impression, in fact used AI to change his words.

The BBC has already pushed back hard, with a spokeswoman stating: “The clip of President Trump’s January 6th speech that is featured in this Panorama was not created using AI. The programme showed excerpts taken from different parts of the President’s speech.”
Top UK news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who doesn’t work for the BBC, shared Trump’s AI claim on X earlier, adding: “He seems also to actually believe it. Going to make settling the case quite tricky.”
Trump has himself been a big user of artificial intelligence, most recently landing himself in trouble with the influential conservative Christian community by posting a doctored image of himself depicted as a Jesus-like figure.
