Manipulated AI Videos Used Against Pastor

[21] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Kazakh pastor.

A Kazakh pastor said that secret police showed his wife fabricated videos generated by AI to convince her to spy on him. “The methods they used were extremely surprising to me, as they were low and dirty,” said the pastor, who denied that the videos are real. “I ask you to pray for me, my wife, our children and our ministry. We are going through one of the most difficult times, but we believe that Jesus is the Lord.” A front-line worker said the ability for governments and anyone to now create these kinds of realistic videos is extremely problematic. “AI is making things challenging,” he said. “I'm sure he won't be the first pastor targeted with situations like this.” The front-line worker asked for prayer for unity and truth to flourish among the churches of Central Asia despite this new threat.
