BETTIAH, Jan. 4 -- Muzaffarpur police in Bihar on Friday arrested a 25-year-old man for allegedly creating and circulating fake videos and audio clips of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu using artificial intelligence tools, police said. Officials said that through WhatsApp, information was received by the senior superintendent of police, Muzaffarpur, that through Instagram ID jansuraajbochaha, fake videos digitally created and manipulated using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology by misusing the name, likeness and voice of PM Modi and President Murmu were posted and circulated on social media platforms. "Such videos have been created in a manner that can mislead ordinary citizens who can believe them to be authentic, thereby spreading misinformation among the public. The primary objective behind such AI-generated fake content appears to be creating confusion among the general public," said Himanshu Kumar, deputy superintendent of police (DSP), Cyber, Muzaffarpur. On getting the information, a special police team which was constituted under the leadership of Cyber DSP swung into action, leading to the arrest of the accused Pramod Kumar Raj, son of Nagendra Sahani, a native of Bhagwanpur Bochaha under Bochaha police station area of Muzaffarpur on Friday. "We have seized the mobile used in the crime," said the DSP. In an official statement, dated January 2, Muzaffarpur police said the AI generated video was created with malafide intentions: "Prima facie, it appears to be aimed at undermining the dignity, prestige and credibility of the country's highest constitutional offices, generating distrust towards democratic institutions, and adversely affecting social harmony and law and order."...
