Former Prime Minister of Pakistan and leader of the most popular political party of the country, Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan is now in jail. He has been jailed for 24 years in two consecutive cases.
As a result, Khan is unable to participate in the upcoming elections. But still he expressed his strong conviction to lead the party in this election from prison cell.
And artificial intelligence has become Imran Khan's only weapon in this fight. His party PTI is successfully using this weapon to keep millions of dedicated workers and supporters of the party steadfast in election maidan.
The captain's speech is reaching everyone on social media platforms like Facebook and X or Twitter and video sharing platforms like TikTok.
National Assembly elections in Pakistan to be held on February 8. Meanwhile, political parties like Pakistan Muslim League (PMR-A) and Pakistan People's Party have started campaigning vigorously. But PTI leaders are not getting a chance to campaign.
They are being harassed in various ways despite participating in the elections as 'independent candidates'. Political rallies and meetings are not allowed directly in the field. Not only that, candidates are also being disappeared and killed. Last Wednesday (January 31), in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PTI leader and parliamentary candidate Rihan Zeb Khan was shot dead.
In such a situation PTI leaders are using alternative and unconventional methods in election campaign. Imran Khan is unable to speak directly because he is in prison. He has come up with a strategy in this regard.
The captain is sending the statement in the form of notes from the prison through lawyers. And from that note audio speech is being created using AI voice generation.
PTI leaders are organizing digital meetings with that audio speech. Imran Khan's prison number 'Prisoner Number 804' is being used to organize meetings.
Khan's Facebook page also has a chatbot. Through which all the information and directions related to the election are reaching the leaders and activists and candidates of the election instantly.
However, this process started last year. Imran Khan has not participated in the party's election campaign since his imprisonment last December.
His speech is propagated by duplicating the voice with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. However, this has become the main weapon of Imran and his party ahead of the elections.
