An AI-generated video puts Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and two ministers into a Gangnam Style dance routine. The Statesman reports that the clip, shared by the Chief Minister’s office, had passed 3.3 million Instagram views.
Why it mattersThe video features Agriculture Minister Pijush Hazarika and Finance Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah alongside Sarma. The Statesman describes it as entirely AI-generated, rather than footage of the ministers dancing together. It is a playful example of synthetic media being shared through an official political account, where a familiar song and recognisable faces make the fiction easy to pass along. But should officials label AI-made political videos more clearly, even when the joke is obvious?
