Multiple FIRs Against AAP For Allegedly Posting AI Videos Of PM Modi, Amit Shah

SUMMARY

All the five FIRs were filed against the AAP at the North Avenue police station following complaints by BJP members

In yet another standoff between political parties around misuse of AI, the Delhi police has filed five FIRs against the AAP for allegedly posting AI-generated photos and videos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the party’s official X handle.

All the five FIRs were filed against the AAP at the North Avenue police station following complaints by BJP members. 

As per PTI, citing police sources, they had received a complaint regarding some objectionable photos and videos of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on the official X handle of the Aam Aadmi Party.

The alleged videos were posted by AAP on January 10 and 13.

One of the videos — which was made by the AI-deepfake technology — showed a scene from a 90s Bollywood flick where the faces of villains were swapped with that of BJP leaders and the audio was changed to a conversation on Delhi polls, an officer said.

After analysing the complaint, the officer said, an FIR was filed and an investigation has been initiated in the matter.

In response to these allegations, AAP dismissed the FIRs as politically motivated actions, saying that “false cases are being registered to divert attention from real issues concerning the people.”

It is pertinent to note that the Election Commission of India (ECI) has already issued a warning to political parties against the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, particularly in creating deepfakes and disseminating misinformation during election campaigns.
