During a recent town hall in Kisumu, Oyoo, a thoughtful middle-aged man, voiced strong support and concern over a prospective presidential candidate and current senator.
His worry stemmed from an image that had widely circulated online, depicting this senator kissing a nominated female Senator.
Since I was moderating the town hall, I informed Oyoo that the controversial image was actually fake, a product of artificial intelligence (AI).
It was troubling to realise how easily manipulated content could sway public opinion, reflecting the growing influence and potential dangers of AI in shaping society.
