A fake video of a Pakistani politician, Maryam Nawaz, has been circulating online.
This video is called a “deepfake” because it uses artificial intelligence (AI) to make it look like Ms. Nawaz is doing something she never did. In the video, she appears to be dancing in a police uniform.
This video was shared by people who want to make fun of Ms. Nawaz, who is the current leader of Punjab province in Pakistan. It’s easy to see that the video is fake, but it still raises concerns about this kind of technology. This is not the first time someone has made a fake video of Ms. Nawaz. There was a similar video in 2023 that showed her saying things she never said.
This incident is a warning sign that fake videos made with AI could become a big problem. These videos can be used to lie about people and spread misinformation. It’s important to be aware of this technology and to be critical of the videos you see online. Don’t believe everything you see, especially if it seems too outrageous to be true.
