Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna has voiced her concerns over the misuse of artificial intelligence to create fake and explicit images of celebrities.

In a statement on her X account on Wednesday, she urged for accountability in managing “AI-generated content.” Rashmika highlighted the importance of ethical use and awareness, calling the phenomenon a “moral decline” that needs addressing.

She emphasized that the internet has turned into a platform where fake visuals can easily be mistaken for real ones. “When truth can be manufactured, discernment becomes our strongest defense,” she stated.

Mandanna further remarked, “AI is a powerful tool for progress, yet its abuse to generate vulgarity and target women reflects a profound moral decay among some individuals. Remember, the internet no longer reflects the truth. It is a canvas where anything can be fabricated. Let’s rise above misuse and harness AI for a more dignified and progressive society. Choose responsibility over recklessness. If people cannot behave humanely, then severe and uncompromising penalties must be enforced.”

Mandanna is preparing for the release of Cocktail 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit film Cocktail.

Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 continues the narrative of the original, featuring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. Cocktail was praised for its contemporary perspective on love and friendship.
