SINGAPORE: PUB said on Thursday (Oct 1) that it used several AI detection tools to verify an image purportedly showing a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir, but the results were inconclusive.
The image was later found to be AI-generated and a 30-year-old man was charged on Tuesday over the incident.
Ye Lin, a Myanmar national, is accused of sending the AI-generated image depicting a crocodile at the reservoir to a colleague.
In a statement on Facebook, the national water agency said that the man was employed by its reservoir maintenance contractor.
His supervisor alerted PUB to the image on Aug 20, prompting the agency to immediately try to verify its authenticity using various AI detection tools.
