KARACHI: US President Donald Trump is reportedly integrating AI-generated fake images and videos into his political strategy, allegedly using them as a weapon to attack opponents and energize his base.
According to a significant report, Trump has shared at least 62 such digitally altered or fabricated posts on his social media platform since late 2022.
The content of these posts varies. Some were used as direct attacks to mock political rivals, including both Democrats and Republican competitors. In contrast, other images were self-aggrandizing, depicting Trump in heroic or exaggerated ways—such as a Nobel Prize winner, a king, or a national hero—in an apparent effort to boost his own image.
Experts are expressing deep concern over this trend. They warn that the use of such content by the US President is normalizing AI-driven propaganda, making it dangerously effective and increasingly blurring the line between reality and fabrication for the public.
