No evidence of AI found in Amir Hamza's audio: The Descent
The Descent, a fact-checking organization, found no evidence of artificial intelligence (AI) use in an audio clip spread under the name of Kushtia-3 MP Mufti Amir Hamza. They said they tested it using multiple online tools. However, the organization said it was not possible to confirm the context of the conversation because it could not contact Amir Hamza or his close associates.

On November 6, Prime Minister Tarek Rahman's political assistant Rashed Khan claimed on Facebook that there were audio-video recordings of Amir Hamza's alleged conversations with women. In these leaked audios, a person sounding like Amir Hamza can be heard apologizing and expressing remorse. In this regard, on November 6 at a Waz Mahfil in Bogura, Amir Hamza complained of defamation and said he has no connection with the circulated statement. However, he did not directly say that the audios were made with AI.

Meanwhile, after the audio was released, widespread negative propaganda against Rashed Khan began on social media. The Descent said that in four days, at least 118 negative videos about him were published, in which objectionable images and fake audios made with AI were circulated.
