Shilpi Rani, National University of Study & Research in Law


ABSTRACT


Deepfake technology, which leverages artificial intelligence to create highly realistic fake videos, poses significant threats to individual privacy and societal stability. In India, the rapid spread of deepfakes has raised concerns about their potential to spread misinformation, manipulate public opinion, and infringe on personal rights. This article examines the legal framework in India, particularly the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act of 2023, and its effectiveness in addressing the challenges posed by deepfakes. It also explores recent developments as of 2025, including advancements in detection technologies and legislative updates. The article concludes with recommendations for strengthening legal and policy measures to combat the misuse of deepfake technology.


Keywords: deepfake, privacy, data protection, legislation, India, artificial intelligence, misinformation, legal framework, technology, policy.
