MP says ‘no intention to mislead’ with AI picture

MP Sureena Brackenridge says there was no intention to mislead people after a story about a fictional nurse was posted on her social media channels.

The post, about “Maya” who was struggling to find affordable housing, appeared on the Wolverhampton North East Labour MP’s feeds last month.

After being highlighted as AI-generated by charity Full Fact, the post was deleted from X and edited on Facebook to say “Maya is fictional, but this is the reality for millions of working people”.

Councillor Simon Bennett, leader of the Conservatives on City of Wolverhampton Council, said people wanted “honesty and transparency” from elected officials.

After the post had been edited, Brackenridge said: “While the intention was to communicate policy in an accessible way, it should have been made clear from the outset that the image and accompanying narrative were illustrative rather than depicting a real individual.”
