Deepfake Laws in India : A Critical Analysis

Author(s) Vishakha Periwal
Country India
Abstract Deepfakes, a form of synthetic media created using deep learning and AI, enable manipulating audio, video, or images to produce highly realistic yet fake content. These are typically generated using neural networks like generative adversarial networks (GANs) or autoencoders, which analyze existing data patterns, such as photos or videos of individuals, to replicate facial expressions, speech, and other characteristics. While deepfake technology has genuine uses in entertainment, its misuse poses serious threats, including spreading disinformation, fabricating news, and producing explicit or defamatory content without consent. In countries like India and the UK, the misuse of deepfakes has emphasized the need for legal frameworks that address privacy, data protection, and cybercrime risks. Although existing laws, such as India’s Information Technology Act, Indian Penal Code, and Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, cover certain aspects, they lack specific provisions for deepfakes. The issue has gained significant attention with notable cases of deepfakes targeting public figures and celebrities. This technology’s rapid development challenges data security, privacy, and intellectual property rights, raising concerns about political manipulation, identity theft, and defamation. While progressing, current detection technologies are still limited in effectively identifying deepfakes and suggesting measures; this study emphasizes the importance of legal reforms, proposing amendments to existing legislation, and creating new laws explicitly targeting deepfakes. Additionally, it advocates for advanced detection tools to help mitigate these risks. By combining legal and technical approaches, the study suggests that countries collaborate internationally to minimize the harmful impacts of deepfakes, establishing a robust regulatory environment that protects individuals and institutions from this growing cyber threat.
