A video shared on Facebook claims to show a CNN report indicating Yale University professors are on strike over students using artificial intelligence (AI).

Verdict: False

A CNN spokesperson told Check Your Fact that the video is “fabricated” via an email statement. In addition, there is no evidence suggesting Yale University professors are on strike.

Fact Check:

A Yale University course titled “No Time for Tears: Friendships between Black Women and White Women” examines interracial female friendships, according to Fox News. The course is taught by Professor Tasha Hawthorne, the dean of Yale’s Pierson College, the outlet reported.

The Facebook video claims to show a CNN report indicating Yale University professors are on strike over students using AI. According to the video, students at the university purportedly used Turbo Learn AI to “ace all their classes,” prompting the supposed strike.

The claim is false. Check Your Fact did not find the claim referenced on CNN’s website or its verified social media accounts. Likewise, Yale University has neither issued a press release nor a social media statement repeating the claim about the purported strike.

In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On Jan. 22, Logically Facts debunked the claim, reporting the video is “fake.” (RELATED: Image Purporting To Show Bernie Sanders Wearing ‘Deport Elon Musk’ T-Shirt Is AI-Generated)

A label featured on the video indicates it originally stems from TikTok and was shared by user @newstrendingnow. The account also shared a video claiming professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) were on strike due to students using AI. In addition, the account has shared similar AI-related claims about students at multiple universities, including Harvard and Columbia.

Furthermore, a CNN spokesperson told Check Your Fact that the video is “fabricated” via email.

“This post is fabricated,” the spokesperson said.

Check Your Fact has also contacted Yale University for comment.
