There could be an increase in misinformation after the advent of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Bard . It will be difficult to identify genuine content and fake content. India is already facing a surge in misinformation. In addition this gets complicated as India is a multilingual country. Generative AI aggravates this issue.

The language models of AI are not designed for factual accuracy. They are basically conversation models. AI models fail to distinguish between evidence-based information and pure fiction. There is scope to amplify hate speech, political ideology, toxic content, racism and violence — and these could be false and biased.
