An original still image from an eyewitness video shows the masked ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good (Left). Users on social media "unmasked" the agent using Grok (Right). Experts warn AI cannot "unmask" individuals. NPR is publishing both images to show how AI is being used to manipulate images of news events.
