Ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly election, the Election Commission on Friday (October 24, 2025) issued an advisory to all political parties on responsible use and disclosure of synthetically generated information and Al-generated content during elections.
In a letter to the heads of all political parties, the poll body said that it has been brought to its notice that “the misuse of hyper-realistic synthetically generated information, including depicting political leaders as making electorally sensitive messages, is contaminating the level-playing field in the electoral arena, disrupting fair and equal conditions for all political participants, which is a sine qua non for preserving the integrity of the political campaigning during elections”.
“The use of technology for creating, generating, modifying and altering information and publishing and transmitting synthetically generated information is a deep threat and challenge because of its ability to masquerade as truth and unwittingly trap political stakeholders into incorrect conclusions and therefore, ECI finds it particularly imperative to ensure that transparency and accountability are maintained to preserve electoral integrity and voter trust,” the letter said.
