Bombay Court Questions AI Celebrity Chatbots Legality

On Wednesday the Bombay High Court during Shilpa Shetty v. getoutlive.in & Ors. questioned the legality of AI tools and chatbots that simulate celebrity image, voice and likeness without consent, and directed an accused platform to file a detailed reply. The court recalled a December 2025 takedown order, considered broader injunctions against over 30 platforms, and stressed intermediary take-down on notice obligations.
