Authorities in Bhopal have warned idol makers against using Artificial Intelligence-generated patterns for Ganesh idols ahead of the Ganesh Utsav celebrations, threatening FIRs for violations.
Ahead of the Ganesh Utsav, authorities in Bhopal have issued a stern warning to artisans involved in crafting Ganesh idols. The administration has explicitly stated that the creation of idols based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated patterns will not be permitted.
Those found manufacturing or selling Ganesh idols that incorporate AI-designed patterns will face stringent action. The warning includes the possibility of First Information Reports (FIRs) being registered against them. This move aims to regulate the artistic and traditional aspects of idol-making during the upcoming festival.
The administration's directive underscores a focus on preserving traditional craftsmanship and ensuring that the idols adhere to established cultural and artistic norms, rather than adopting digitally generated designs.
