The Bombay High Court on Wednesday asked the Union government what the latter could do on the latest reports of artificial intelligence (AI) bot that reportedly turns womens photographs into nudes. A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni cited a news report in a newspaper on Wednesday on such an AI bot and asked Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh to check with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting about it.

The court was hearing a bunch of public interest litigations seeking that the media, particularly TV news channels, be restrained in their reportage on the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. It was hearing the additional solicitor general's (ASG) arguments on whether a statutory mechanism was required to regulate the content broadcast by the electronic media. The ASG said the Union government was in favour of the press exercising self-regulation.
