New Delhi: India's election authorities on Monday warned political parties against using artificial intelligence to create deepfake videos and spread misinformation during the country's ongoing general election.
Millions of voters will head to polling stations on Tuesday in the third of seven voting phases in the world's most populous country.
A rash of deepfake and doctored videos and misinformation have circulated on social media in recent weeks.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) warned against "misuse of AI-based tools to create deepfakes that distort information or propagate misinformation".
Political parties "have been specifically directed to refrain from publishing and circulating deep fake audios/videos, disseminate any misinformation or information which is patently false, untrue or misleading in nature", the ECI said in a statement.
