Ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections 2025, the Election Commission (EC) has issued a strong advisory to political parties, cautioning them against the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools in their campaigns.
The EC described such misuse as a “deep threat” to democracy, warning that AI-generated content can easily masquerade as truth and distort the electoral process.
The advisory, released on Friday, comes as Bihar prepares for polling between 6 and 11 November 2025, with vote counting scheduled for 14 November. It reiterates the EC’s earlier guidelines issued in 2024 and January 2025, emphasising the need for ethical campaigning and transparency in political communication.
The Commission expressed concern over the use of AI to depict political leaders making false or electorally sensitive statements, saying such practices contaminate the level-playing field during elections. It also reminded parties that the publication or transmission of synthetically generated information can severely damage public trust.
Invoking its constitutional powers under Article 324, the EC urged all political parties to uphold fairness and ensure that technology is not misused to influence voters or spread misinformation ahead of the polls.
