Dangers of Deepfake AI in India | Fair Observer Shorts
Dangers of Deepfake AI in India | Fair Observer Shorts Deepfakes are no longer a fringe internet problem. They are becoming a systemic threat to democracy, public trust and shared reality itself. In this episode of FO Talks, Catherine Lapey speaks with Manish Maheshwari, former Twitter India Managing Director, AI entrepreneur and Harvard Kennedy School fellow, about how AI generated content is reshaping politics and society. Maheshwari explains what deepfakes are, why they are different from traditional fake news and how they can influence elections by making truth itself questionable. From India to the United States, deepfakes can mislead voters, damage reputations and erode trust in institutions. The discussion explores India’s proposed regulatory framework, platform accountability, digital provenance, and whether verification systems similar to Aadhaar or HTTPS could help restore trust. As AI advances rapidly, this conversation examines whether democracies can adapt in time or whether we are heading toward a future with no shared reality at all. #india #deepfake #deepfakes #ai #artificialintelligence #aigovernance #digitaltrust #fakevideos #syntheticmedia #misinformation #disinformation #democracy #elections #indiapolitics #globalpolitics #publicpolicy #technologyandpolitics #truth #factchecking #digitalmedia #socialmedia #twitterindia #aiethics #aipolicy #harvardkennedyschool #digitalsovereignty #platformaccountability #contentmoderation #fakenews #aianddemocracy #futureofmedia #journalism #indianregulation #aiawareness #medialiteracy #publicdiscourse #deepfakevideos #aithreats #informationwarfare #digitalidentity #aiverification #aipolitics #electionsecurity #trustcrisis #internetgovernance #globalregulation #syntheticcontent #aiandtruth #democracyatrisk #fairobserver #fotalks #globalaffairs #worldpolitics #publicdebate #techpolicy #digitalrights #platformregulation #cybersecurity #aichallenges #contentverification @FairObserver Support our work: https://www.fairobserver.com/crowd-fu...
