AI-Generated Abuse Targeting Muslim Women in India Surges, Study Finds
A report by Al Jazeera and the Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) reveals a surge in AI-generated sexualised imagery and propaganda targeting Muslim women in India. The study analyzed 1,326 AI-generated images and videos from 297 public accounts, finding 6.7 million interactions. This form of harassment extends the communal logic behind the 2021-2022 Sulli Deals and Bulli Bai controversies, but now operates at a scale and speed that existing Indian law is structurally unequipped to address.
