Actress Slams TV Channel Over AI Deepfake Distress
18 Oct
Summary
- Actress Pori Moni claims AI-generated video caused personal and career damage.
- She criticizes the TV channel's apology as insufficient for the harm caused.
- The incident has affected her children and her ability to use social media.
Actress Pori Moni has expressed profound distress and anger towards Maasranga Television following the circulation of an AI-generated obscene video featuring her likeness. She contends that the channel's public apology, issued via a photo card on Saturday, October 17, is insufficient to rectify the significant damage inflicted upon her personal life, peace of mind, and professional career.
Moni stated on Facebook that the incident has made her life miserable and that she can no longer comfortably share updates on social media due to the continuous negative reactions, which have also extended to her children. She questioned the channel's commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice, accusing them of being responsible for the ensuing consequences and demanding to know when legal action would be taken.
The controversy stemmed from objectionable videos appearing on Maasranga Television's official Instagram account on October 13, which the channel claimed was due to hacking and the misuse of AI. Despite the channel's subsequent apology and promise of legal action, Moni argued during a Facebook Live session that an apology alone could not absolve them of responsibility, especially after the verified media account amplified the fabricated content's reach.
