Meta has imposed restrictions in India on a viral AI-generated video featuring Keralam Chief Minister V D Satheesan dancing with officials from the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). The creators of the video announced this decision on Monday amid concerns related to the ongoing power crisis in the region.
In a post on Sunday, ‘aikavala’ said access to the video had been restricted in India after Meta complied with a legal request. “We don’t know the reason. But the CM had appreciated it in a public forum. “Artificial intelligence is creating many such things nowadays. There will be legal issues there.
The video, posted on the Instagram page ‘aikavala’ on Thursday, had garnered 1.78 crore views by Sunday, according to the page’s operator.
The video shows Satheesan dancing with Kerala State Electricity Board officials and was created using artificial intelligence, according to the page. “We have restricted access to your content in India pursuant to notice from the Government of India,” a message from Meta shared by the creators said. The video can be viewed from other countries,” he said. When they imitate many things like this, legal implications are bound to arise,” he said.
Earlier, Meta had removed news videos critical of the state government and Satheesan.
