No more AI videos that disrupt public order; the government has prepared new rules, and a watermark will expose deepfakes..

Fake videos and images created using artificial intelligence (AI) often pose a significant challenge. To address this, the Indian government has prepared a plan. The government is planning to mandate watermarks on AI-generated content. This will help prevent those who misuse AI to create deepfake videos and photos. According to a report, draft rules have been prepared for watermarking AI-generated content. Under these rules, AI content will have to be labeled.

Draft Rules Prepared
According to a report by ET Telecom, Abhishek Singh, Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Electronics and IT and CEO of the India AI Mission, stated that draft rules have been prepared for watermarking AI content. He said that this is necessary because AI is being misused to commit cybercrimes.

What will be the benefit?
According to the report, this will help prevent AI videos that threaten law and order, spread social unrest, or involve child sexual abuse. If it is known beforehand that a video is AI-generated, people can be made aware of it.

In recent times, several cases have come to light where AI has been misused to tarnish people's reputations. Examples include the AI ​​video of Rashmika Mandanna and the fake video of Alia Bhatt. Distinguishing between real and fake in AI-generated videos is challenging, and now preparations are underway to curb this.

When will the new rules come into effect?
According to the report, the government is finalizing the new revised guidelines. The new framework is expected to be introduced soon.

The Grok case is a recent example.
The example of Elon Musk's AI 'Grok' is a recent one. Recently, social media was flooded with obscene images created using Grok AI. As the controversy escalated, the government ordered the removal of such content and asked X (formerly Twitter) to file a response regarding the matter.
