- The February 15, 2026 ‚heute journal‘ included an AI-generated clip and a misdated scene from 2022 by mistake.
- ZDF’s guidelines prohibit AI-generated content unless the segment explicitly addresses AI forgeries.
- The incorrect footage depicted a 2022 Florida child arrest unrelated to recent ICE operations.
- FDP deputy leader Kubicki called for political action and reforms in public broadcasting following the incident.
The ZDF scandal must have political consequences. A billion contribution system that leads to a broadcasting service in which manipulative or manipulated reporting is apparently so widespread that it does not even trigger a sense of disturbance among those responsible, we literally cannot afford.— Wolfgang Kubicki, Deputy Federal Chairman of the FDP, comments on X regarding the incidents at ZDF.
