M Nasir Rahman, member of parliament for Moulvibazar-3 and a member of the BNP national executive committee, has alleged that fake, manipulated and obscene videos made using AI are being circulated on social media. In a Facebook post on August 2, he described the material as politically motivated propaganda and announced legal action against those involved.

Rahman said his facial image had allegedly been attached to another body to create the false video using AI technology. He alleged that the content was then spread online to demean him politically and to create controversy around both him and his political party.

He said necessary legal measures had already been taken, while digital evidence was being preserved and technical analysis and identification of those involved were under way. According to Rahman, a specialised government agency was also working to identify the accused and bring them under the law quickly. He urged the public not to share or circulate unverified AI-generated videos, images or information, warning that distributing or redistributing such content could be punishable under information technology laws.
