"Actress Rashmika Mandanna's Viral Deepfake Video Sparks Legal Action Support"

A viral video featuring Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna has been revealed to be a deepfake, created using artificial intelligence. The video, which shows Mandanna entering an elevator, has been viewed millions of times on social media platforms. While the fakery becomes apparent when compared to the original video, it is difficult to detect when viewed quickly in a social media feed. The rise of deepfake videos poses a significant challenge to trust in online content, with even mundane fakes flooding platforms like Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. The increasing sophistication of deepfake tools raises concerns about the potential for political fakes, particularly in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
