Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs are a common occurrence, and the use of deepfake software is steadily increasing. However, new security flaws and issues arise with every new piece of technology. Deepfakes are a new tool that the disinformation threat is using. There are obvious advantages to synthetic media or deepfakes in a number of fields, including criminal forensics, filmmaking, accessibility, education, and artistic expression. But as synthetic media technology becomes more widely available, so does the possibility of exploitation. Particularly women have suffered as a result of deepfake technology's advancement. They have become targets of revenge porn and have been harassed and bullied as a result. Deepfakes are videos that intentionally mislead people by using Artificial Intelligence (AI), deep learning, and photoshop to create images of real events that propagate false information. Deepfake technology is becoming more widely used, which puts women in India at serious risk and exacerbates already-existing issues with safety, privacy, and reputation. This article explores how deepfakes affect women, with particular attention to issues like misinformation, defamation, and the production of non-consensual pornography. Concerns regarding the need for more robust legal frameworks to address issues like privacy, data protection, and cybercrime have been raised by the growing use of fake technology. Although India has laws that can be used to counteract deepfake technology, more specialized legislation is required to address the particular problems that deepfakes present. The necessity for the Indian government to address this matter and create a regulatory framework is emphasized in this paper. Additionally, it examines how well the Indian legal system handles the violation of people's rights caused by deepfakes and makes the case that, even though the laws as they stand implicitly forbid the dissemination of deepfakes, there are certain issues with the system that could be resolved by proposed legislative changes.
