Deepfake videos of well-known individuals and actors have lately spread on social media, raising worries about the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI).
A deepfake video of star Rashmika Mandanna went viral last week, and shortly after, a deepfake image of Katrina Kaif appeared.
Other photographs produced or transformed with the use of AI technology have also made the rounds both within and beyond the country.
The visuals are made artificially with near-perfect precision to seem and sound as authentic as the actual ones.
Morphing and other nefarious actions have been popular for many years, but they may be recognised by a keen eye or ear, and certainly by technology.
