After actress Rashmika Mandana’s deep fake video became controversial, the dangers of deep fakes became an active discussion in the country. Now Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also responded on this issue. Deep fakes are the biggest threat facing the country, he said at an event held at the BJP headquarters in Delhi. The prime minister advised the media and people to be vigilant against misuse of artificial intelligence to create deep fakes.
His response comes in the context of a fake video of the Prime Minister participating in the Garba dance, which is held as part of Diwali celebrations in northern states. The garba dance video was not a deep fake video. On the other hand, Vikas Mahante, who is disguised as Modi’s alter ego, is in the video. The video he shared on social media was being shared as if it was Modi’s.
But Prime Minister Narendra Modi is one of the prominent figures facing the threat of deep fakes. There are various fake videos of the Prime Minister on the Internet, including songs in Modi’s voice, AI-generated pictures of Modi, face-to-face videos of Modi and other political leaders.
Such content is currently less controversial only because it has not caused serious problems. Songs in Modi’s voice, including in Malayalam, are circulating on social media. Images of Modi created using new generative AI systems, including MidGeneration, are also available on the internet.
