Imran Khan's AI Campaign: Speaking from Behind Bars

Imran Khan, Pakistan's former prime minister, used artificial intelligence (AI) to campaign from behind bars in an online rally organized by his opposition party, Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The AI-generated video featured Khan's voice, graphics, and previously filmed footage, as he urged Pakistanis to vote in the upcoming national election. Khan, who is facing corruption and state secrets charges, claims the cases against him are politically motivated. The virtual rally, viewed over a million times on social media, aimed to compensate for Khan's absence from the campaign field due to a crackdown on political events. However, experts warn about the potential misuse of AI technology for spreading disinformation and propaganda.
