Priyanka Chaturvedi Addresses AI Misuse in Social Media
On Thursday, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressed her concerns in a letter to Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw regarding the alleged misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) tools on social media platforms. She highlighted the issue of inappropriate images of women being posted through fake accounts, emphasizing that such actions represent a serious violation of women's privacy. Chaturvedi urged the central government to take immediate measures to protect their rights.
In her letter, Chaturvedi pointed out a troubling trend emerging on social media, particularly on platform X, where the AI Grok feature is reportedly being exploited. She noted that men are using fake accounts to post images of women and sending signals to Grok to reduce their clothing and present them in a sexualized manner. This behavior extends beyond merely sharing images through fake accounts; it also targets women who post their own pictures. Such actions are unacceptable and represent a gross misuse of AI functionality.
Moreover, she stated that it is even more alarming that Grok is accommodating such requests, thereby promoting this kind of behavior. This not only infringes upon women's rights to privacy but also constitutes unauthorized use of their images, which is both unethical and criminal. Chaturvedi has called on the Electronics and IT Minister to take decisive action against the platform X and to implement security measures in AI-based tools to ensure women's online safety.
In her correspondence, Chaturvedi emphasized that India cannot remain a bystander while the dignity of women is being violated publicly and digitally under the guise of creativity and innovation. She highlighted the growing concerns regarding similar unchecked behaviors on major tech platforms and stressed that such practices equate to criminal behavior. The letter stated that the country cannot be a silent observer to the ongoing violations of women's dignity disguised as creativity and innovation, and that inaction is intolerable. She noted that similar patterns are also continuing unchecked on other major tech platforms.
