A deepfake of the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy endorsing his son, the current Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy stating, “After my death, as a continuation to my dreams … despite the many troubles he was made to go through, Jagan met with the people of Andhra Pradesh,” went viral on Whatsapp in the ongoing Indian national elections. The video was made by The Indian Deepfaker, an account being employed by politicians to use generative-AI amid campaigning. Although it was never posted online officially, it was shared widely by users.
