AI-Generated Content Expands Influence Across India's Social Media and Marketing Sectors

AI-generated content is increasingly shaping India's digital landscape, with brands adopting synthetic influencers like Manforce's AI ambassador and Vadilal's hybrid mascot to enhance marketing flexibility and engagement. Simultaneously, AI-created videos and images flood social media feeds, driving high user interaction despite concerns over content quality and originality. India's rapid adoption of AI image generation tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT Images 2.0, reflects a growing cultural embrace of AI for creative expression, amid ongoing debates about copyright and the impact on human creators.
