The Gujarat High Court has issued notices to tech firms Meta India, Google, X, Reddit and Scribd on a PIL seeking to formulate a robust regulatory mechanism to curb the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in generating and spreading deeply fake videos and photos.
While issuing returnable notices to them on May 8, the Division Bench of Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice DN Ray also directed the intermediaries to ensure that they are listed on the Sahyog portal for better coordination and time-bound actions related to the removal of illegal content in strict accordance with the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
