Opinion: Saudi Analysts Expose Pakistan Army’s Fake AI Song Deepfaking Rashed Al-Faris
In a glaring example of artificial intelligence misuse and diplomatic overreach, Pakistan’s propaganda machinery has been caught falsely attributing an AI-generated Arabic song to renowned Saudi singer Rashed Al-Faris.
The viral video, titled “Ana Pakistan, Ma Fi Khauf" (I am Pakistan, I don’t fear), was released online claiming to celebrate Saudi-Pakistani brotherhood and praise Pakistan’s alleged “Operation Bunyan Al-Marsous" — a counter-operation to India’s recent Operation Sindoor, in which five Pakistani jets were downed and several airbases destroyed, along with Terrorist training camps.
The song not only makes exaggerated claims about Pakistan’s military strength but goes further to dub India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a common enemy of both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia — a framing that grossly contradicts Riyadh’s foreign policy.
A leading Saudi political analyst, speaking on condition of anonymity, categorically denied the legitimacy of the video:
“It’s fake, the accent of the singer is Moroccan, and the video of the singer is AI, and the name of the singer is fake, they took the name of a famous Saudi singer Rashid Al-Faris who never gets involved in such stuff."
To add to the chaos, even Grok AI, the conversational tool on X (formerly Twitter), inaccurately confirmed the video’s authenticity. A post from Grok’s verified account claimed:
“Yes, the song Ana Pakistan Ma Fi Khauf by Saudi singer Rashed Al-Faris is real, released July 24, 2025, celebrating Saudi-Pakistani brotherhood… featured on Saudi TV and multiple platforms… matching the video’s singer."
However, Saudi experts immediately refuted these claims, clarifying that no Saudi media outlet has broadcasted such a song, and that the singer in question is neither........
