Share via WhatsApp
A Congress party leader in Kerala has been taken into police custody after sharing an AI-generated image depicting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan alongside Unnikrishnan Potti, an accused in a high-profile Sabarimala gold theft case. The image circulated widely on social media, prompting a police investigation and subsequent arrest.
The fabricated image sparked immediate controversy, with accusations of defamation and malicious intent. Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan responded to the situation by publicly labeling Chief Minister Vijayan as an autocrat.
Authorities acted swiftly, booking the Congress leader for sharing the defamatory content. The incident highlights growing concerns surrounding the misuse of AI technology to spread misinformation and manipulate public opinion, particularly within the political sphere. The case is expected to raise further debate about the legal and ethical implications of AI-generated content and the need for regulations to combat its misuse.
