JASIN: Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has cautioned voters against misinformation generated using artificial intelligence (AI) during the Melaka election campaign, citing a fabricated TikTok video that falsely portrayed him as promising RM25,000 to everyone.
Mohamad said the emergence of such videos was worrying as AI technology had made it increasingly easy to imitate politicians' voices and spread misleading information.
"Yesterday, there was a TikTok video claiming that I had said everyone would receive RM25,000. When did I ever say that?
"These days, it is easy to create TikTok videos using AI to imitate people's voices and do all sorts of things.
