Watch Desk posted an update
India’s Home Secretary Govind Mohan says AI-generated deepfake videos could stir tension and create serious public-order challenges. He urged new police officers to identify such threats proactively and called for greater use of AI and other technology in investigations.
Why it mattersThe Hindu reports that Mohan raised the warning at a passing-out parade for new police recruits in Hyderabad. The article gives no examples of incidents or detail on what proactive policing should involve, so this is a warning, not a new operational rulebook. Deepfakes are now being discussed as a policing problem, but the response still needs specifics.
Discuss: Should police get wider powers to tackle AI-made disinformation, or should safeguards come first?
