Quote by Kumar Ritesh founder and CEO of Cyfirma on Minister of Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw meeting on deepfake
“Regulations to guard against the misuse of deepfake technology are highly uneven and vary widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But we do expect the Indian government to cover a few key areas such as enacting laws specifically targeting the creation, distribution, or malicious use of deepfake content and imposing penalties for those who engage in illegal activities involving deepfakes. We see the government putting in place guidelines for online platforms and social media sites to detect and remove deepfake content to help curb its spread. This would require the government to work with tech companies to implement and enforce such regulations.
The government could invest in public awareness campaigns to educate people about the existence and potential dangers of deepfake technology. This includes informing individuals about how to identify and report suspicious content.
With the new regulations, Research and Development funding that support research into deepfake detection and prevention methods can be crucial. The government can allocate funds for the development of technologies that can identify and mitigate the impact of deepfakes. We hope there will be broader international collaboration as Deepfake threats often go beyond borders. Governments can work collaboratively on an international level to share information, best practices, and coordinate efforts to address the global challenges posed by deepfake technology. And India, with its vast technology talents, is posed to lead this initiative”.
