Sri Lankan social media influencers, Anushki and Kanushki Premachandra have initiated legal action against the sharing of an AI-generated video linked to them.

The two women visited the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to file a complaint in this regard.

Speaking to the Media, Anushki and Kanushki Premachandra revealed that an AI-generated video linked to them has been making rounds on social media since last night.

“An AI-generated video about us is being circulated on social media. Previously too such a video was shared. This has been continuously happening and is being done by one particular group,” they said. 

Anushki and Kanushki Premachandra said the CID has initiated action to arrest those behind the sharing of the video, while action is also to be taken against other individuals who are sharing the video on various social media platforms. 

Breaking down in tears, the duo said that they were forced to initiate legal action as they were facing severe harassment, urging the public to refrain from attacking women in such a manner.
