1. Centre prescribes labels for all photorealistic AI content online
The Union government has amended the IT Rules to mandate that all “photorealistic” AI-generated images and videos online must carry clear labels disclosing that they are synthetic. Platforms are warned that repeated non-compliance can lead to loss of safe-harbour protection. The rules also sharply reduce the time within which social media companies must act on complaints about illegal or highly sensitive content, especially non-consensual intimate images. The logic behind the move is the rapid spread of deepfakes that can damage reputations, influence elections and incite violence before fact-checking catches up. By forcing labels and fast takedowns, the Centre aims to balance innovation with harm-prevention. Critics, however, worry that the definitions of “photorealistic” and “illegal” remain vague, giving authorities and platforms wide discretion that might chill legitimate satire or political speech. The gist: India is moving towards tight regulation of AI content, but the fine line between safety and over-censorship will be hard to hold.
