07/10/2026
Srinagar, October 07(KIP)-The National Child Development Council (NCDC) held a Core Committee meeting in which members discussed the need for regulations governing AI-generated videos, particularly in view of their impact on children and society.
The discussion was initiated by Sanah Najeeb, who highlighted concerns over AI-generated videos using characters that are popular among children. She said such videos are being circulated through platforms including WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, while there are concerns regarding the absence of adequate regulation from the government or platforms.
She specifically pointed to the use of abusive language and sexual content in some AI-generated videos being viewed by children, stressing the need for regulations concerning such content.
During the discussion, NCDC Master Trainer, Baba Alexander said that while newspapers and satellite television channels are subject to licensing systems and laws, the emergence of social media has enabled individuals to create and distribute content through mobile phones and cameras without a similar licensing system. He said some people use negative, vulgar, fake, abusive and sensitive content to attract viewers and increase reach.
He further observed that positive content often receives less attention, while negative or sensitive content tends to attract more comments and reactions, resulting in greater reach. According to him, social media algorithms may further promote such content when it receives higher engagement. He called for changes in social media strategies and algorithms, along with government restrictions and control over social media content.
Another member, Bindu Sarswathibhai, said the issue was particularly relevant for an organisation working for the welfare of women and children. She called for specific and strong rules for AI-generated videos, particularly concerning abusive language and sexual content.
She also stressed the need for strict rules on social media platforms, accountability for platforms hosting such content, and strict monitoring of the content being used. She raised concerns about the use of children's images in such videos and said strong rules should be applied to restrict such content. She also referred to child safety and children's rights and suggested that government action should be considered in cases involving such content.
