New Delhi, Sept. 14 -- A viral deepfake that showed Keralam Chief Minister VD Satheesan dancing so convincingly that he joked he was "dancing better than Mohanlal" has pushed him to raise a more serious question, whether India's laws are keeping pace with the rapidly evolving capabilities of artificial intelligence.

The AI-generated video, which showed Satheesan dancing alongside Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) employees to the popular Tamil film song "Ala Bolelo," quickly went viral on social media. The clip appeared against the backdrop of a power shortage in the state, turning the ongoing electricity crisis into fodder for political satire and memes.

For Satheesan, however, the video became more than a social media joke.
