A pressure group, Action Collective, has raised the alarm over the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to discredit the suspended Kogi Cnetral Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Teddy Onyejuwe, the group raised the alarm over a trending online video allegedly featuring the female Senator. Onyejuwe clarified that the video was an AI fabrication and urged the public to disregard any content linked to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan that does not originate from her verified platforms.

According to Onyejuwe, the smear campaign was the work of political opponents trying to mislead the public.

“We call on Nigerians to ignore such content and to be vigilant about the growing use of digital manipulation to spread falsehood,” the statement read.

The Action Collective urged media organisations, government agencies, and the general public to remain cautious and distance themselves from alleged schemes.

They also called for heightened skepticism towards any AI-generated material associated with Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“This is a coordinated attempt by desperate political adversaries to discredit a highly respected public servant. We urge everyone to verify their sources and expose this woman’s deceit before more lives and reputations are destroyed,” Onyejuwe concluded.
