The report by Reuters revealed that the actors have argued that the YouTube content and the third-party training policies are concerning.

More about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's lawsuit

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have stated that these AI-generated videos enable users to consent to sharing a video they create to train rival AI models. The couple's claims further stated that these videos risk the proliferation of misleading content online. The information has been shared based on near-identical filings from Abhishek and Aishwarya, dated September 6, 2025, which are not publicly available. While the complete report is not available to the public, a part of the filing could be read as saying:

"Such content being used to train AI models has the potential to multiply the instances of use of any infringing content, i.e. first being uploaded on YouTube, being viewed by the public, and then also being used to train."

In their filings, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan claim that the AI platforms' training is based on content that portrays them in a negative manner and infringes their intellectual property rights. They further expressed their concern over how the AI models "are likely to learn all such untrue" information, leading to its further spread. The Delhi High Court has asked Google's lawyer to submit written responses to the court by August 2025, prior to the next hearing on January 15, 2025.
