In today's digital age, technology has made our lives easier than ever before, but the faster the technology is progressing, the faster its misuse is also increasing. Now Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT, which are commonly used to provide information and generate content, are also being used for fraud and cyber fraud. Especially through the image generation feature of ChatGPT, important identity documents like fake Aadhaar cards and PAN cards can be created, which has made it very easy to cheat people.

How can it be misused?

The image generation tool of ChatGPT can create such realistic images that it becomes difficult to differentiate between real and fake identity cards. Any person can get a fake Aadhaar card or PAN card by entering someone's name, address, and photo. Using this fake document, a bank account can be opened, a fake loan can be taken, a mobile SIM card can be activated, a person's identity can be misused and he can be put in trouble.

What could be the losses in the coming times?

Increase in cybercrime: Cases of online fraud and cheating can increase through fake documents.

Impact on the credibility of Aadhaar and PAN: When fake identity cards can be easily made, questions arise about their validity and credibility.

Data security at risk: People's personal information can fall into the wrong hands and be misused.

Social and legal problems: Crimes can be committed in someone's name, due to which innocent people can get into legal troubles.

What could be the solution?

Strict monitoring and rules should be made on image generation tools.

Users should be made aware that they should be cautious while sharing documents related to their identity online.

The government and tech companies together will have to draw a clear line between the use and misuse of AI.

If this issue is not taken seriously in time, then in the coming times, this technology can prove to be more harmful than beneficial.
