Alia Bhatt breaks silence on her deepfake video, spills the beans on headlining YRF Spy Universe film

Alia Bhatt recently attended the Red Sea International Film Festival and joined the high-profile names–Halle Berry, Andrew Garfield, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Nic Cage, to the prestigious In-Conversation sidebar at KSA. From Heart Of Stone's experience to her upcoming film Jigra, the actress opened up about the buzz surrounding her professional life. She also reacted to her viral deepfake video and speculations regarding her headlining Yash Raj Film’s Spy Universe film.

Alia feels Artificial Intelligence has pros and cons, and hopes that laws will come into place to protect people. “There’s a lot to say. I do feel like where there’s good there can also be bad. As humans, our instinct is always to survive, so no matter the problem, we’ll survive and find a way to work around it. AI could open things up for some professions, and it could be harmful to others. That’s what I feel. But as we understand it better, I’m sure laws will come into place to protect people,” she told Deadline. In November, Alia fell prey to an AI hoax via deepfake wherein her face was morphed into another model in an obscene video.
