Online Report : Artificial Intelligence (AI) could pose a major challenge in the upcoming national, said Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin on Saturday.

"It is a modern threat, more dangerous than weapons."

CEC Nasir Uddin said this while speaking at a views-exchange meeting on the 13th general election held at the office of the Khulna regional election officer.

He emphasised the need for heightened vigilance against any technology-driven attempts to influence the electoral process.

``We want a transparent election. No activities will be carried out under cover of darkness. Everything must happen in broad daylight to ensure accountability.``

The CEC added, ``The most pressing challenge for the Election Commission in the upcoming parliamentary election is to regain voters` trust and encourage their active participation at polling centres.``
