AI-Generated Video Targets Indian Leaders
Two different AI-generated videos have caused controversy in India.
One video targeted Harish Rawat, a former chief minister, showing him doing something he didn't do and saying things that could upset people.
He filed a police report because he thought the video was fake and made to hurt his reputation.
The other video showed Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, supposedly threatening Bangladesh and asking the Prime Minister to resign.
This video was shared by people in Pakistan and Bangladesh, but it was later found out to be fake.
Yogi was actually talking about the bad treatment of Hindus in Bangladesh.
Both videos were made to cause trouble and distract people from important issues.
An AI-generated video accusing Harish Rawat of 'appeasing' minorities was posted on the Uttarakhand BJP's official Facebook page.
Rawat filed an FIR alleging the video maligned his image and hurt religious sentiments.
Another AI-generated video falsely claimed Yogi Adityanath threatened Bangladesh and demanded its merger into 'Akhand Bharat'.
The video was shared by Pakistani and Bangladeshi social media handles to deflect attention from attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
Yogi Adityanath's actual speech condemned the killing of Hindus in Bangladesh and criticized selective political outrage.
