The Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) has advised social media platforms like Twitter and Meta to remove AI-generated deepfakes from their platforms. Deepfakes, which manipulate a person's appearance through AI, have become a major concern due to their potential for misinformation and abuse. The ministry has called for a responsible use of AI and has instructed intermediaries to comply with the IT Rules 2021. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also highlighted deepfakes as a significant threat to the Indian system.
