The Center will take all measures to prevent such threats. Along with fine, there will also be a provision for jail sentence on deepfake videos. He further said that the main job of the officer to be appointed is to keep an eye on such videos. The person publishing such deepfake videos will be detected as soon as possible. Within 36 hours, strict action will be taken against the accused person or his organization.

Chandrashekhar said that everyone will have to follow the rules set by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. In the digital age everyone has technology. But if anyone misuses it, strict action will be taken against him. Anyone making a deepfake video will be punished with a fine of Rs 1 lakh to 3 years in jail. Appointed officers will inspect it all the time. Rajiv Chandrashekhar said that on November 24, the Central Government has summoned online platforms including Google, Facebook, YouTube and warned that if they do not remove deepfakes from their sites, strict action will be taken against them.
PM Modi had expressed concern
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had expressed concern about deepfake videos. The PM said that creating deepfake videos by misusing AI is a matter of deep concern. Modi said he has requested the ChatGPT team to send an alert if such videos are being circulated on the internet. He said that deepfake videos can create chaos in the society. Therefore, he appealed to the citizens of the country and social media to keep an eye on this matter. PM Modi also said that I saw a video in which I am seen dancing Garba. It seemed absolutely surreal.
what is deepfake
In today’s digital age, many times false news and misleading information is being spread to the people with the help of internet. A video of this has also been given. This is called deepfake. It is very difficult to differentiate between real and fake. Artificial Intelligence technology (AI) and machine learning software are used in this.
It is used to make copies of media files like photos, audio and videos. It looks exactly like the original file. In simple language, deepfake is a form of morphed video.
