PTI Clarifies: Imran Khan’s Article in The Economist Not AI-Generated

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) issued a clarification on Tuesday, refuting claims made by PTI founder Imran Khan that the article recently published by The Economist under his name was generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Imran Khan, while speaking to journalists, had mentioned that the article was AI-generated based on points he had dictated.

However, the PTI, in the clarification, stated that the article in The Economist was originally authored by Imran Khan himself, without the use of any artificial means, including 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,” the statement said.

The PTI urged the local media to present the facts accurately and publish the clarification in its true letter and spirit.

Earlier in the day, Caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi commented on the situation, stating that the former Chairman PTI admitted that he didn’t write the article, and it was AI-generated. The minister noted that the current Chairman PTI doesn’t endorse its anti-establishment and anti-American contents, while highlighting the jubilation of PTI overseas, some anchors, and The Economist over AI-generated claims.
