Last week, on Wednesday the Court questioned the legality of artificial intelligence tools that simulate celebrity personalities without obtaining consent from the individuals concerned while hearing Shilpa's personality rights suit. As per a report by Bar and Bench, the court raised concerns over platforms that have AI-generated versions of actors and allows users to interact with them without their approval. The matter was heard by Justice Sharmila Deshmukh, and Shilpa had sought restrictions on multiple platforms that were accused of hosting or enabling such content where her deepfakes were being used without her consent. The court had questioned the platform's legality and asked them to file a detailed response explaining its position.
