Viral Video of Newborn Baby Born with Long Hair Debunked — Watch Video

A viral video showing a newborn baby with long, flowing hair has been circulating widely on social media. The clips, which depict babies with hair extending past their bodies and being caressed by parents and hospital staff, have garnered millions of views on Facebook and Instagram.

The video of a newborn baby born with long hair is fake. The viral videos are AI-generated. In some clips, the Sora 2 watermark is blurred. While some internet users quickly recognized the videos as fake, others were convinced, comparing the babies to Rapunzel.

Many social media users joked about the situation, with humorous comments such as:
“The heartburn mom had when she was pregnant with the baby is what started the California wildfires,” one Facebook user wrote.
“Either a miracle or the hormones in the food her mother was eating while she was pregnant with the baby,” another netizen added.

Beyond the humorous reactions, the AI tool Sora 2 has raised serious concerns. Kerry Smith, chief executive officer of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), an England-based charity focused on removing sexual content from the internet, told WIRED that an increase in the misuse of AI-generated material has been observed on social media apps.

Smith explained that tools like Sora 2 are reportedly being used to create sexually explicit content involving children. These videos often feature young girls, sometimes including suggestive props. She stated, “We see real children’s likenesses being commodified to create nude or sexual imagery and, overwhelmingly, we see AI being used to create imagery of girls. It is yet another way girls are targeted online.”

OpenAI has clarified that Sora 2 is designed to prevent deepfakes of public figures from being used without consent and to block the generation of sexual or violent content. However, some users claim the AI tool does not always implement these safeguards effectively.

In response, the UK recently amended the Crime and Policing Bill to allow testers to review AI models and assess whether they could produce child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Kerry Smith called this a “vital step” to make the internet safer, emphasizing that victims of CSAM can experience severe harm.

Authorities and experts continue to urge caution and awareness regarding viral videos and AI-generated content, highlighting the risks posed by misleading or harmful media online.
