AI Tools Being Weaponised to Target Women Journalists: Supreme Court Justice Surya Kant

Supreme Court Justice Surya Kant warned that artificial intelligence tools are increasingly being weaponised to target women journalists through deepfakes, doctored visuals, and online harassment.

Speaking at the 31st anniversary of the Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC) in New Delhi, he said such misuse of technology threatens privacy, dignity, and press freedom by spreading false narratives and psychological harm.

Justice Kant called for strong institutional protocols and ethical regulations to protect women journalists and victims of manipulated content.

Justice Kant urged media bodies to prioritise digital safety, promote accountability, and uphold responsible journalism in the age of unregulated AI.
