In an interview with Moneycontrol, she emphasised the need for regulations to address the potential misuse of AI-generated content. "Deepfake is disturbing, as an actress and as a human being. Being able to regulate AI content is necessary."
The actor asserted that she believes in the importance of regulations governing the creation of content, especially concerning personal likenesses, images, or voices. "I think when you are part of a company where you are in charge of the content, in charge of your image and how you want to present it, then it is something else. I do believe that there should be some regulations on how certain content is created, about certain personal likenesses, images, or voices, there should be a certain amount of regulation. And here with this AI, you can control all that," she explained.
Sunny Leone also expressed her eagerness to engage with the AI replicas of other celebrities, stating, "I want to do that for Bachchan Sir (Amitabh Bachchan)!" The launch event hinted at future possibilities of celebrities exploring this novel form of interaction with their fans.
