Radio Ndeke Luka's StopAtènè unit flags an AI-made Kim Jong-un video

Radio Ndeke Luka — Radio Ndeke Luka's Bangui verification desk, #StopAtenè, ran AI deepfake detection, the tool Hive Detection, against a clip alleging Kim Jong-un's pledge of North Korean military backing for Iran. It measured a 98.5% probability the clip's voice was synthetic, with manipulation markers elsewhere in the footage, and separately caught the clip misdating a Kim address to 25 March 2026 against his genuine 23 March appearance. #StopAtenè's verdict, published 2 April 2026 through AI-generated video verification, found no proof behind the claim.

Centrafrique Check's AI tools unmask a fake MSF arrest photo

Centrafrique Check — Centrafrique Check, a Bangui fact-checking outlet, ran AI image detection with two tools, MyDetector and TruthScan, on a photo attached to claims a French national had been arrested in Zémio, Haut-Mbomou, circulating from around 7 March 2026. Médecins Sans Frontières had confirmed the detention, around 4 March 2026, of two of its own staff, one French and one Central African, taken to Bangui. Both tools put roughly 98% odds on artificial generation, pointing to a skin-tone mismatch on the soldier's hand where it gripped the detainee. AI-generated photo verification found the arrest genuine, the picture false.

AI model maps tuberculosis hotspots across Bangui

National Tuberculosis Programme of the Central African Republic, The Union and EPCON — An AI model for TB hotspot mapping split Bangui into 100-metre grids, surfacing clusters the Central African Republic's National Tuberculosis Programme (NTP) never knew existed. Built with The Union and EPCON using density and clinic-distance data, findings published 13 August 2025. Officials then targeted screening at districts with the heaviest TB burden.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4731 entries across 249 countries.
