DCF Paramesh warns of legal action
Mysuru: A video of a tiger being spotted at Marase village in the taluk, which was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and uploaded on various social media platforms, has created panic among the villagers.
The AI video shows a tiger prowling at night in the village. This video had gone viral on social media and was even reported in a section of digital media, which had created a sense of fear among the villagers.
When SOM contacted the Forest Department officials, the officials said that the video was a fake one created using AI besides urging the villagers not to panic. Instead of using the AI technology for genuine purposes, the technology is being used to create panic and fear among the public. There should be a stringent law to curb those uploading such videos on social media.
Meanwhile, DCF (Mysuru Circle) K. Paramesh said that the video of a tiger being spotted at Marase village is created using AI and villagers need not panic.
He further said that a complaint would be lodged at the Cyber Crime Police Station against those uploading such AI videos and legal action will be initiated against them.
