EAM S Jaishankar Flags Potential Risks From New Technologies Such As AI & Deepfake

The use of Artificial Intelligence and deepfakes has generated a lot of attention in this country. The wrong use of AI and deepfakes also raised a number of concerns such as Rashmika Mandana's deepfakes or morphed videos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi singing songs that have been going viral on Instagram for quite some time. Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday warned against risks that new technologies like AI and deepfakes pose to national security. I would say frankly, in many ways, today foreign interference in this country is growing. He was then asked whether India is gradually becoming a surveillance state as the map of security threats to the ordinary Indian has increased exponentially.
