AI-Generated Speeches: A Game-Changer in Political Campaigns

Jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan delivered a speech using an audio clip generated through artificial intelligence (AI) during a virtual rally organized by his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI). The virtual rally, which drew over five million views on social media platforms, was held to bypass a government ban on public rallies ahead of the upcoming general elections. Khan's AI-generated speech criticized the government's crackdown on PTI and accused them of internet censorship. While the use of AI technology in politics is seen as innovative, there are concerns about its potential for disinformation and election manipulation.
