Ms Rashmika Mandanna said she was “really hurt” after a manipulated video showing her face on the body of another woman was circulated online.NEW DELHI - A fake video of a Bollywood actress purporting to show her wearing a low-cut top has triggered calls for artificial intelligence regulation in India, where past false social media posts have stoked sectarian divisions.
“We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft,” Ms Mandanna wrote, calling it “extremely scary” how vulnerable all are to technology being misused. In 2018, a prominent female journalist and critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was harassed when edited videos of her face placed on top of naked women were widely circulated.
Mr Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India’s Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, wrote on X on Monday that such deep fake videos were “dangerous and damaging” forms of misinformation, but said that they must “be dealt with by platforms”.Ms Mandanna added that she was thankful for “my family, friends and well-wishers, who are my protection and support system”.
