Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan on Wednesday, April 26 said that the audio clip released by T.N. BJP president K. Annamalai, purportedly containing the former’s voice, was fabricated by a “blackmail gang” to achieve their political ambitions and to disrupt the good governance being delivered by the ruling DMK.
Mr. Rajan, who posted his statement as a video on Twitter, began his message by showing a few deepfake videos. “If such authentic-looking videos can be machine generated, imagine all that can be done with audio files,” he said.
