The Act may ask social media platforms to add watermarks to identify AI generated content.

The government will have decided the parameters of LLMs which are India specific. Of late, Gemini answered some queries in different ways.

There should be control over deepfakes as they are a new threat to democracy. There should be detection of deepfakes, their prevention by removing or reducing their virality, strengthening of reporting mechanisms and spreading of awareness about the technology.

Facebook is building tools that can identify ‘invisible markers’ in content relying on standards set by C2PA. It facilitates image labelling.
