Chandigarh Court Orders Removal of AI-Generated Video of MLA Sukhpal Khaira
A Chandigarh court has ordered Meta Platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, to remove an AI-generated video of Punjab Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira within 72 hours. The video digitally superimposed Khaira's face onto a body in women's attire, which he claimed damaged his reputation and dignity. The court granted an interim injunction, deeming the content defamatory and objectionable. Meta agreed to comply, while the case highlights concerns over AI-manipulated content and its impact on public figures.
