Deepfakes are fake videos made with advanced technology. These are causing concerns in the recent times. They are not just about celebrities changing clothes; they are being misused for things like fake news and inappropriate content. After the incident of Rashmika Mandanna , the Indian government issued advisories to social media platforms to necessitate immediate measures.
Deepfake technology, a product of the constantly evolving field of artificial intelligence, enables individuals to not only modify their voices to mimic others but also manipulate videos to make them appear genuinely convincing.
Cybersecurity expert Jatin Jain says that we need better laws, ones that clearly mention who can use this tech and for what. He suggests a complete overhaul of IT laws and a new AI regulation law. We need rules about licensing, responsibilities for making and sharing videos.
Tech Advisor Vinod K Singh, thinks people should remain careful online. He believes governments should make strict laws, and tech companies need to invest in better ways to stop misuse. He says deepfake tech can be good or bad, and it’s up to us to decide. Singh urges quick action before it’s too late.
