Bollywood star Alia Bhatt finds herself once more at the center of controversy as an AI-generated video featuring her has taken the internet by storm, leaving her fans shocked and concerned.
The latest video, posted on Instagram by user Sameeksha Avtr, showcases Alia seemingly participating in the popular GRWM (Get Ready With Me) trend. This clip has already amassed over 17 million views, as reported by India Today.
The lifelike video depicts Alia Bhatt meticulously applying makeup and talking to the camera, perfectly mimicking the nuances of her voice and expressions. However, the actress has confirmed that she had no involvement in the making of this video, sparking widespread debate about the ethical implications and potential misuse of AI technology.
This isn't the first time Alia has been subject to AI manipulations. Earlier, a video circulated on social media platforms showing her face seamlessly transposed onto the body of actress Wamiqa Gabbi, creating an unsettlingly realistic illusion.
These incidents come amid growing global concern about the ethical use of artificial intelligence.
Pope Francis, in his historic address to G7 leaders on Saturday, urged them to recognize their power to determine whether AI becomes a terrifying or creative tool. He emphasized the need for responsible development and use of this rapidly advancing technology.
Adding to the discourse, Professor Geoffrey Hinton, often hailed as the "godfather of artificial intelligence," expressed his apprehensions about the potential consequences of AI. "I'm very worried about AI taking lots of mundane jobs," he stated.
Hinton speculated that within the next five to twenty years, there is a significant probability that society will have to confront AI attempting to take over. He warned that this could pose an "extinction-level threat" to humanity, as AI could potentially surpass biological intelligence.
