  "account": "The Delhi High Court has directed the takedown of artificial intelligence-generated videos featuring Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, shared by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on social media platforms. The court found these posts to be \"defamatory and offensive,\" as well as an attack on a woman's dignity due to her constitutional authority. Gupta had filed a petition against AAP and other parties, including social media intermediaries X Corp and Meta platforms, seeking a permanent injunction against the AI-generated videos and deepfake videos of her and Deputy CM Parvesh Sahib Singh pouring liquor and ice cubes. The CM alleged that these \"offending\" materials portrayed her as a liquor vendor, hawker, delivery agent, and head of a non-existing government scheme. Justice Manoj Jain ruled in her favor, emphasizing the potential for these videos to tarnish her personal dignity and moral character. The court also observed that the AI-generated videos and posts crossed the boundary between healthy criticism and satire, demanding their removal from social media. Delhi government officials hailed the court's decision as \"historical.\"",
