Jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan employs AI-generated audio to address supporters during a political crackdown. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) successfully hosts a virtual rally, amassing 4.5 million views on Facebook, X, and YouTube. Utilizing an AI tool, a “voice clone” is created from Khan’s speech samples, resulting in a stilted AI-generated voice. Khan commends the historic attempt, emphasizing his determination for real freedom despite incarceration. PTI strategically bypasses restrictions on public rallies by leveraging AI to convey Khan’s distinctive rhetorical style. Urging a substantial turnout at the February 8 elections, Khan expresses concerns about government restrictions. The influence of AI in politics extends globally, with India and the US confronting deepfake challenges. India faces deepfake videos during assembly polls, sparking concerns about misinformation. Both the IT minister and Prime Minister Modi voice apprehensions over deepfake threats, labeling them a “threat to democracy.” In the US, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) initiates measures to restrict AI-generated deepfakes in political advertisements. Additionally, ChatGPT plays a significant role in political processes, contributing to the generation of speeches, campaign materials, and fundraising content.
