The Bench issued notice on the transfer petition, returnable on October 5. It also directed that further proceedings in the Gujarat High Court PIL shall remain stayed in the meantime.
The PIL before the High Court was filed by one Vikas Vijay Nair who sought the formation of a robust regulatory framework to curb misuse of AI and deal with the creation and circulation of AI-generated deepfake videos and photographs, particularly those targeting constitutional and statutory authorities.
In April this year, the High Court had directed major social media intermediaries including Meta India, Google, X, Reddit and Scribd to file their responses to the plea.
