Ayesha Khan on scary use of AI
Ayesha spoke about the misuse of AI during an interview with Pinkvilla, and how scary things have turned out to be on social media.
Expressing her concern over the misuse of AI (Artificial Intelligence), Ayesha said that it has dangerously become normalised. She said, “The AI thing that has started is very scary. You have made a whole app to sexualise women on the internet… I can’t humanly process this information that this is happening… There was a picture of me and Vijay sir… it was turned into an AI video where we are hugging each other. I had to tell her that this has never happened before.”
Ayesha mentioned that she has seen several such morphed images of herself online, which look very realistic. She shares that it is “sad how most people would not know that it’s AI”.
Talking about the issue of paparazzi videos and viral clips, Ayesha said, “People don’t understand consent. You can’t do these things without asking… They know it’s wrong… you’re capturing someone’s oops moment and even posting that publicly.”
Here, she stressed that not all paparazzi operate the same way, asserting that they are “good people”. Ayesha said that many photographers respect boundaries when she communicates discomfort, saying when she asks them not to post any of her pictures, they agree and don’t post it.
