AI-Generated Fake Videos: A Growing Concern
The use of AI-generated fake videos has become a worrying trend in recent times, with several countries reporting instances of such videos being used to spread misinformation and propaganda. These videos are often created using advanced deepfake technology, which allows perpetrators to convincingly mimic the voices, faces, and mannerisms of public figures.
In the case of the fake videos featuring the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Minister, authorities have confirmed that they were created using AI-generated technology. The videos, which were shared widely on social media platforms, depicted the two leaders making inflammatory and provocative statements that could have potentially sparked violence and social unrest.
