Actor Preity Zinta moves the Bombay High Court seeking legal protection against AI-generated deepfakes and morphed images and videos that appear online. Multiple reports say her petition asks the court to direct platforms and intermediaries to remove or block objectionable content, including deepfake videos and altered images that portray her. Her counsel argues the manipulated material violates her personality rights and privacy and causes distress, pointing to altered content that resembles her recognizable features. The court is considering whether to issue an interim injunction covering online platforms and intermediaries such as major technology companies and other intermediaries, while also addressing how removal can be carried out without affecting legitimate or non-infringing content. One report states that the court highlights the need for a practical method and urges parties to propose a workable protocol to take down infringing material. The court is expected to give a decision soon on the relief sought.
