Viral Video of Newborn With Thick Moustache Raises AI Questions

A video showing a newborn with what appears to be a thick, dark moustache has sparked reactions online. The baby is seen wrapped in a towel while the facial hair stretches across the upper lip and cheeks. Fact-checkers say the clip was likely manipulated. They noted that the moustache appears to shift and briefly disappear as the baby moves. The child’s identity, place of birth and hospital have also not been independently verified. Babies can be born with lanugo, a fine body hair that may remain on the face and other areas after birth, especially in premature babies. However, the available medical cases do not confirm that the striking moustache in this viral video is real.
