Bombay HC asks govt to act against bot that turns women’s photos into nudes

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday expressed concern over an artificial intelligence (AI) bot (a Cyber mechanism) that reportedly turns women’s photographs into nudes and asked the Union government what it could do on such AI bot.

A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni was hearing a bunch of public interest litigations seeking that the media, particularly TV news channels, be restrained in their reportage on the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Bench was hearing the additional solicitor general’s (ASG) Anil Singh’s arguments on whether a statutory mechanism was required to regulate the content broadcast by the electronic media.
