Bengaluru, India—Death has not extinguished the decades-long rivalry between two Indian leaders: both have now seemingly risen from the grave, in digital form, to rally their supporters ahead of national elections.
Actress turned politician J. Jayalalithaa died in 2016, but she has been featured in a voice message deeply critical of the state’s current governing party, once led by arch-rival M. Karunanidhi.“We have a corrupt and useless state government,” her digital avatar says. “Stand by me… we are for the people.”
“Bringing crowds is a difficult thing,” Nayagam told Agence France Presse . “And how many times can you do a laser or drone show?”Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party has been an eager early adopter of technology in election campaigning. AI creator Divyendra Jadoun said he had received a “huge surge” of requests for content from his company, The Indian Deepfaker.
This week a leader of the BJP’s youth wing posted an AI-generated video of Arvind Kejriwal, a leading opponent of Modi arrested last month in a graft probe.
