The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has fact-checked an AI-generated video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Piyush Goyal that is being circulated to spread fake news.
PIB’s fact-checking unit has revealed that the video is fake and generated by AI. The force said neither the chief minister nor Goyal had made any statements as shown in the fake video.
It further added that the video is being circulated by Pakistani propaganda networks to spread misinformation.
AI-generated videos of the Prime Minister and Union Ministers are being pushed by propaganda handles. These fake videos, which are spliced together with audio, show the prime minister and ministers threatening students and warning them of dire consequences.
