The BJP used AI chatbots to reach voters during the 2024 Indian general election

The claim that the BJP used AI chatbots to reach voters during the 2024 Indian general election is supported by multiple sources. According to The Hindu, AI-powered chatbots were indeed used by political parties, including the BJP, to engage with voters. These chatbots were capable of making calls to constituents in the voices of political leaders. Additionally, VOA News confirms that AI-generated content, including chatbots, played a significant role in the election campaign, helping politicians connect directly with voters. The use of AI in the election was not limited to chatbots but also included deepfake videos and AI-generated images, which were used to influence voter perception. While the use of AI in political campaigns raises concerns about misinformation, the specific claim about the BJP's use of AI chatbots is corroborated by these sources.
