<\/span>AI-Generated Deepfakes and the Right to Privacy in India: Emerging Legal Challenges and the Need for Stronger Protection<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Abstract: AI-Generated Deepfakes and the Right to Privacy in India<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic media has fundamentally altered how likeness, voice, and personal autonomy operate online. While generative Artificial Intelligence offers legitimate creative and educational utility, its weaponization through deepfakes\u2014hyper-realistic, algorithmically manipulated audio and visual recordings\u2014poses an acute threat to individual dignity. In India, privacy is a recognized fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution, yet victims of synthetic impersonation frequently find themselves navigating a fragmented statutory landscape built for an earlier era of internet crime. This paper examines the collision between generative AI and India\u2019s constitutional privacy framework, evaluates the friction within existing penal and data protection statutes\u2014including the 2026 amendments to the IT Rules\u2014and outlines the structural reforms necessary to protect personal identity in an algorithmic age.<\/p>
