Cybersecurity Risks Associated With Deepfakes: A Comparative Jurisprudential Analysis Between Indian Legislations and US Draft Legislations.
In the era of AI-driven deepfakes, India faces cybersecurity challenges. While lacking specific laws, a comparative analysis with US legislation reveals opportunities for reform. US bills like the Malicious Deep Fake Prohibition Act and Deep Fakes Accountability Act offer targeted measures, emphasizing the need for defining offenses, incorporating watermarks, and establishing task forces. India’s existing legal framework, notably the Information Technology Act and Digital Personal Data Protection Act, falls short. To address this, integrating key provisions from US bills could fortify India’s stance, enhancing its ability to combat the rising threats posed by AI-generated deepfakes.
