Kerala CM Seeks Stronger Laws Against Piracy, AI Threats
V D Satheesan said stronger laws are needed to protect films and other creative work.
He said piracy can hurt an industry that spends a lot of money making movies.
He also warned that artificial intelligence can create fake pictures, videos and music.
Some fake videos can make it appear that famous people did or said things they did not.
Sharing these fakes online can create safety and security problems.
Satheesan wants laws to keep up with these new technologies.
The comments were made at a seminar about how art, movies, music and law are connected.
