‘Neither My Language nor My Voice’: Shashi Tharoor Slams Fake AI Video Praising Pakistan
The AI-generated deepfake video falsely credited Shashi Tharoor with praising Pakistan's diplomacy to resolve a T20 World Cup boycott, detected by Deepfake-O-Meter and spread by a Pakistan-linked account.
- On Thursday, Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor strongly dismissed a viral video falsely attributing remarks to him and said AI altered the audio, posting `Neither my language nor my voice.`
- The clip was circulated on social media by a Pakistani propaganda-linked social media account and posted on X by a verified Pakistan-based user at least 20 hours before reporting, pushing a false narrative around the Pakistan Cricket Board's reversal of boycott ahead of February 15, 2026.
- Running the clip through Deepfake-O-Meter revealed it was AI-generated, with the 24-second video showing muffled, rerecorded audio and a poorly generated voice clone.
- With detection tools flagging manipulation, Shukla urged people not to believe or circulate the clip, citing the upcoming February 20 rules requiring deepfake removal within three hours.
- Amid the Pakistan–ICC standoff, Tharoor urged separating politics from sport, citing a falsely attributed AI-generated clip aired on ARY News, which he denied was his voice.
