Imran Khan's AI voice - "Most Interesting Thing in Tech" | Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf

 

Imran Khan's AI voice - "Most Interesting Thing in Tech"

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan garnered international attention despite his voice being suppressed in the local mainstream media. In Pakistan, where the state has prohibited mentioning Imran Khan's name and displaying his image, he gained significant global coverage for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's unprecedented virtual rally. The event was broadcast live across all official PTI social media platforms and skillfully hosted by the PTI’s social media team.

The fear of Imran Khan's popularity led the caretaker government to implement extreme measures, such as internet shutdowns and slowdowns on social media platforms across different regions of Pakistan. Despite these hurdles, the virtual Jalsa garnered significant attention, attracting millions of viewers who tuned in to watch the event live on various social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

The pinnacle of the momentous virtual rally was the AI-generated speech by Imran Khan, which claimed the spotlight. The PTI social media team skillfully produced a video utilizing an AI-generated voice to deliver Imran Khan’s message, derived from notes he had shared with his legal team a day before. This message not only deeply resonated with millions, eliciting emotions of unwavering passion for their leader, but it also caught the attention of global media. The innovative use of this new technology to connect with the people, even while being illegally incarcerated and unable to make a personal appearance, impressed and intrigued media outlets worldwide.

The CEO of The Atlantic and previous member of Wired publication, Nicohlas Thompson called Imran Khan's AI voice the "Most Interesting Thing in Tech". He added,

“Imran Khan, the imprisoned former prime minister of Pakistan, uses AI voice technology to give a speech, via video conference, at a rally for his supporters. It's a crazy new use for a technology that has improved rapidly in the last year.”

Analytics Drift – Imran Khan used AI-Generated Audio Clip to Address a Virtual Rally from Prison.

It is quite fascinating to see that AI is being widely used as a political weapon to justify narratives. In this case, the intangible nature of AI was used efficiently for a political speech to mitigate/compensate for the absence of a tangible presence of a leader. With AI growing rapidly, it is to be seen how the coming decade will harness the capabilities of AI for good and for bad.

Numerous international media houses were astonished by the positive application of AI and the vast audience that participated in witnessing this historic moment in Pakistan's history. The persistent suppression faced by the people of Pakistan in exercising their democratic right to assemble, rally, and voice their concerns has driven them to innovate and explore alternative means of expression. This event serves as yet another brilliant example of how determination and resourcefulness prevail, showcasing that where there is a will, there is a way.
