Did Imran Khan Use AI to Write an Article in Jail?

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) strongly refuted allegations of employing artificial intelligence in the composition of a recent article attributed to the party’s founder and former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, published by The Economist.

In the widely circulated article on social media, Imran Khan expressed apprehensions about the scheduled general elections on February 8. The caretaker government also criticized the article.

The PTI central media department, using the platform X (formerly Twitter), dismissed claims circulating on social media suggesting the use of artificial intelligence in generating the article. The spokesperson clarified that Imran Khan, currently in Rawalpindi Central Jail, wrote the article without relying on artificial intelligence.

“It is clarified that the news/reports carried by local media on the contents
and mode of publication of an article by the PTI Chairman-for-life in a
foreign publication “The Economist” does not reflect the actual state of
facts regarding the matter.
