Halfway through the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal, no single issue or thread has dominated the election campaign. Regional issues such as the demand for Gorkhaland in Darjeeling, the crisis of the tea industry in the north, and river erosion are missing from the campaign by major political parties. Social media campaigns, videos, and AI-powered content are dominating the elections in the State.
With the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections fast approaching, political parties are turning to MGNREGA workers as campaign helpers, offering lucrative incentives. These workers, who typically earn around ₹300 per day through MGNREGA, are now being offered up to ₹600 per day, meals, and liquor. Officials report a decline in MGNREGA workforce as workers join political campaigns, raising concerns about the availability of manpower for rural development projects.

President Biden’s campaign has embraced TikTok, leveraging its reach among young voters. However, the administration’s push for a ban on the Chinese-owned app is drawing criticism, highlighting the complex relationship between social media, political strategy, and national security concerns.
Following an AI-generated robocall impersonating President Biden in New Hampshire, states across the country are considering legislation to address deepfakes in political campaigns. The proposed measures range from requiring transparency and disclosure to prohibiting the distribution of AI-generated content. While some states focus on identifying content produced using AI, others are proposing criminal penalties for failing to disclose its use. Congress is also considering bills that would prohibit the circulation of deepfakes and hold online platforms liable for posting such material. However, concerns remain about the challenges of enforcing watermarking requirements for AI-generated content and the need for a federal response to address deepfake concerns in national elections.

The study found that the majority of South Africans are concerned about climate change, with their primary fears being the negative effects on living conditions, food availability, and water scarcity. Additionally, they believe that investing in climate action is essential for the country’s future prosperity and well-being.
