Even as the recently held Parliament session saw heated arguments over the alleged objectionable comments of Union Home Minister Amit Shah against Dalit icon B.R. Ambedkar, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated video showing him blessing its chief Arvind Kejriwal as a ‘son’.
In the video, Mr. Kejriwal was shown seeking strength from Ambedkar to fight those “who spoke ill of the one who drafted the Constitution”.
To counter the narrative, the BJP’s Delhi unit posted a video on social media platforms in which AI-generated versions of Mr. Kejriwal and Delhi CM Atishi were shown speaking to each other stating how they “duped” the people of Delhi in the name of scholarships for Dalit students.
In another video posted by the BJP, the Dalit icon was shown slapping the AAP chief for his “overacting’”. It was widely shared by BJP supporters across social media platforms.
Within hours of the counter-attack by the BJP, AAP came up with another video in which Mr. Kejriwal was seen sitting next to Mr. Shah, “daring him to use bad words for Ambedkar”.
With the Delhi Assembly poll due in February next year, AI-generated videos, deepfakes and cloned voices are flooding the social media.
