Freelance model Samreen Ayub from Indian-administered Kashmir discovered a fake video on Instagram that used her real photos from university life to spread false claims about her morality. The clip, created with artificial intelligence, accused her of selling her body to Hindu men and labeled her brother as a pimp. Researchers describe her case as part of a growing pattern where AI tools are used to produce sexualized and defamatory content targeting Muslim women across India.
A Washington DC-based Center for the Study of Organized Hate analyzed 1,326 AI-generated images and videos from 297 public social media accounts between May 2023 and May 2025, finding that sexualized depictions of Muslim women received the most engagement. Experts say generative AI enables hate narratives to be visualized cheaply and convincingly. Mumbai’s Rati Foundation’s online safety helpline, Meri Trustline, has recorded rising incidents of such abuse, noting that even non-public figures are being harmed by synthetic sexual content.
Researchers link this phenomenon to the politicization of sexuality and communal narratives, citing earlier “Sulli Deals” and “Bulli Bai” cases. Legal experts warn that India’s current laws struggle to address AI-generated content, leaving victims like Samreen without effective recourse.
