00:00In a troubling development, fake videos of two of India's A-list Bollywood actors have
00:20gone viral online, perpetually criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and endorsing
00:26the opposition Congress party in the ongoing general elections.
00:31Both Aamir Khan and Ranveer Singh were shown in separate clips,
00:36alleging denouncing Modi's tenure as Prime Minister,
00:40with the videos ending with the call to vote for the Congress party.
00:56These AI-generated videos
01:25have garnered over half a million views on social media, underscoring the growing
01:30influence of technology in shaping public opinion during elections.
01:36This marks a significant shift in India's political landscape where traditional campaigning methods
01:42are increasingly being supplemented by digital platforms.
01:46The dissemination of such manipulated content raises concerns about the spread of misinformation
01:53and its impact on the democratic process. Despite efforts by fact-checkers and social
01:59media platforms to flag these videos as altered, they continue to circulate,
02:04amplifying the challenge of combating fake news.
02:08While both the actors have denounced the videos as fake, their viral spread has prompted a police
02:15investigation, with Aamir Khan filing a case in Mumbai against unnamed individuals for alleged
02:22impersonation and cheating. Authorities are working to identify the creators of these deceptive clips
02:29and take appropriate action. Meanwhile, in a unique use of AI technology in this year's election,
02:35politicians are employing AI-generated content for campaign purposes.

02:47father endorsing him for office, demonstrating the potential of AI to influence voter sentiment.
02:55Additionally, the Communist Party of India marxist CPM has utilized AI to produce videos
03:02featuring an AI-generated anchor, Samata, critiquing the ruling party in West Bengal state.

03:14raise pertinent questions about governance and environmental issues.
03:20However, these innovative uses of AI also raise ethical and regulatory questions
03:26regarding the authenticity and accountability of political messaging.
03:30As technology continues to evolve, policymakers and electoral authorities must adapt to ensure
03:37the integrity and transparency of electoral processes.
