NCP Uses AI To Recreate Ajit Pawar
6.1
The Ajit Pawar-led NCP used AI-generated audio and video clips mimicking the late leader to appeal to voters ahead of zilla parishad and panchayat samiti elections on Saturday, after Pawar died in a Jan. 28 plane crash. Two- to three-minute clips circulated widely, invoking his role in candidate selection and urging support, prompting rivals and observers to raise ethical and regulatory concerns.
Key Points
- 1Deploys AI-generated audio and video of late Ajit Pawar in elections
- 2Seeks emotional sympathy and legacy-driven votes during ZP and panchayat samiti polls
- 3Raises ethical and regulatory concerns about AI use, authenticity, and electoral manipulation
