“We need to be cautious about the use of latest technology. It could be very useful if it used in a regulatory manner. However, it could really be dangerous if used in a wrong way; for instance, deepfake videos. Therefore, we need to be cautious before we trust a video or a photo. India is also pushing for a global framework for AI,” he said.
