THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: How about CPM’s most popular leader and former chief minister E K Nayanar campaigning for V Joy, the party’s candidate in Attingal? The CPM has made it possible through Artifi cial Intelligence.
The CPM has used AI for the first time in an election campaign in the state. Nayanar ‘started’ seeking votes for Joy on social media platforms from Wednesday.
“Comrade Nayanar is the most popular face and has a huge fan base in the state. Hence, we thought of creating his “presence” in the constituency using the new technology. It is going to help our candidate in a big way,” said MP A A Rahim, who is overseeing CPM’s campaign in Attingal.
The video of Nayanar speaking in Malabar dialect to the people and seeking vote for Joy has become a big hit. He concludes his two-minute speech by saying “Oan Nammade Aala” (he is our man) in a style typical of him.
Bridging Dots Media Solutions Pvt Ltd, a startup, has made the video possible for CPM.
“We had created this using two AI software — one for the video and another for the audio. Making the audio was a difficult task since we wanted the exact Malabar dialect,” said Prabodh P G, one of the directors of the startup.
Nayanar’s video was collected from one of the old fi les of his famous phone-in programme during which he used to interact with the people. For the audio, the content was created in Malabar slang in three fi les and was converted through the software, he added.
