Actress Yami Gautam asks media outlets to use her images in their original form after concerns about AI-altered photographs circulating online. In her request, she highlights that altered images can misrepresent her and may be created or shared without consent.

The reports come amid wider concern among public figures about the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate photos, videos, and a person’s likeness. Both outlets frame the issue as part of an emerging pattern where AI tools can produce modified content that is difficult for audiences to verify.

While coverage focuses on her message, the articles differ only slightly in wording and emphasis, with both describing her appeal to refrain from using AI-altered pictures and to ensure any published images reflect her unmodified likeness.
