Deep fakes are harmful for society: Ashwini Vaishnaw
The central government has expressed concern about DeepFake. Meanwhile, an important meeting in this regard was held under the chairmanship of Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Representatives of AI companies also participated in this meeting. After the meeting, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the government will soon make a law on deepfaking. The Union Minister said that DeepFake has emerged as a new threat to democratic countries. Both companies and manufacturers will be equally responsible for this. He said that four main issues were discussed in today's meeting, including how to detect deepfakes? Can such content be stopped from going viral? There is also talk of setting up a monitoring system so that platforms and authorities can be alerted to deepfakes and take action.
Government can make new rules or new laws
“We will start drafting regulation today and we will have new rules to deal with deepfakes,” Vaishnaw told reporters. It will either amend the existing framework or bring in new rules or new legislation. Vaishnaw said, “Our next meeting will be in the first week of December. The decisions taken today will be discussed further.” “What should be included in the draft regulation will also be discussed.” In deepfake, a photo or video is replaced with someone else by using artificial intelligence (AI).

This has also raised many questions about misuse of technology and tools to create fake content.
