Delhi High Court Orders Takedown Of AI Deepfakes, Cloned Voice Ads Ta…

The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed multiple online intermediaries, including Google, YouTube and X, to take down deepfake videos, AI-generated content, and cloned-voice advertisements that infringe the personality rights of actor-politician Ravi Kishan. Justice Jyoti Singh drew a line between content amounting to unauthorised use of the actor's persona through artificial intelligence, which was ordered to be taken down immediately, and content alleged to be merely defamatory. Ravi Kishan, the Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur, approached the court seeking an injunction against more than 30 defendants over the unauthorised use of his image, voice, and likeness using artificial intelligence. During the hearing, counsel for Google LLC argued that some flagged content involved defamation rather than personality rights violation. The court also directed takedown of a YouTube channel that used the actor's distinctive dialogue delivery and voice for an FM radio advertisement without authorisation, noting the uploader would be primarily responsible. Counsel for the actor flagged a Facebook post showing only an image of the actor praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arguing that even non-vulgar content was actionable if falsely attributed. The court directed compliance within one week from receipt of the order while keeping the question of defamatory content outside the scope of the present takedown direction.
