CPI(M)'s AI Experiment: From Criticism to Promotion

The ruling CPI(M) in Kerala uses AI technology to promote its state conference, featuring a digital version of late Chief Minister E K Nayanar. Despite previous criticisms, the AI-generated video went viral, raising questions about AI's impact on wealth distribution and unemployment.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Kerala has taken an unexpected turn by leveraging Artificial Intelligence to promote its upcoming state conference in Kollam. This comes after the party's earlier criticism of AI, claiming it would contribute to global unemployment and wealth concentration.

An AI-generated video featuring the charismatic former Chief Minister E K Nayanar quickly captured public attention. In it, a digital recreation addresses the public with humor and familiar articulation, inviting party workers to participate in the conference.

CPI(M) state secretary M V Govindan's views on AI appear divided. Initially praising it for its potential to foster socialism, he later expressed concerns about economic disparity and job loss. His comments have sparked debate on the relevance of Marxism in an AI-driven world.
