## Resource

A West London councilor is sounding the alarm after AI-generated images of her — including one depicting her as a puppeteer controlling white men — were posted online by local Conservatives, sparking outrage over racism, privacy violations, and the weaponization of AI in politics. Councilor Punja calls for urgent safeguards to protect elected officials from digital caricatures that echo harmful stereotypes, warning they can damage mental health and deter diverse candidates — especially women — from running. While the Conservative group defends the images as satire and claims similar content exists across parties, Punja has reported them to the council’s Standards Committee and is demanding systemic change to shield public servants from tech-fueled attacks.
