Artificial Intelligence Helps Imran Khan Campaign from Behind Bars in Pakistan
Artificial intelligence has made its mark in Pakistan’s political landscape as it enabled former prime minister Imran Khan to campaign from behind bars. Despite internet disruptions aimed at censoring Khan, his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), utilized AI to create a four-minute speech delivered by a voice clone of the opposition leader. The speech was then featured in a ‘virtual rally’ hosted on social media.
Key Points:
– Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, campaigned from behind bars using artificial intelligence.
– The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party utilized AI to create a voice clone of Khan, delivering a four-minute speech.
– The speech was part of a ‘virtual rally’ organized on social media.

AI in Politics: A New Campaign Strategy?
