Rashmika Mandanna slams AI misuse for creating 'vulgar' content

The star of 'Pushpa' and 'Animal' seeks stronger laws to combat the 'moral decline' that often targets women

Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna has spoken out against using artificial intelligence to morph and generate fake and explicit images of film personalities.

Taking to X account on Wednesday, the actress called for accountability and responsibility in the handling of "AI-generated content." In her post, Rashmika spoke about the need for awareness and ethical usage, describing the situation as a "moral decline" that must be confronted.

She also added that the internet has become a space where fabricated visuals can easily be passed off as real. "When truth can be manufactured, discernment becomes our greatest defence," she wrote.

She further stated, "AI is a force for progress, but its misuse to create vulgarity and target women signals a deep moral decline in certain people. Remember, the internet is no longer a mirror of truth. It is a canvas where anything can be fabricated. Let us rise above misuse and use AI to build a more dignified and progressive society. Choose responsibility over recklessness. If people cannot act like humans, then strict & unforgiving punishment must be served to them."

Mandanna is gearing up for the release of Cocktail 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit film Cocktail.

Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 continues the story of the original, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. Cocktail was hailed for its modern take on love and friendship.
