A recent study from Cornell University reveals that large language models (LLMs), such as AI chatbots, experience cognitive degradation known as "brain rot" when continuously exposed to low-quality, viral, and clickbait-ridden content online. This exposure significantly reduces their reasoning capability and comprehension, and increases negative personality traits like narcissism and psychopathy. Even after retraining with high-quality inputs, lasting adverse effects persist, pointing to the urgent need for stricter AI data quality controls to prevent long-term damage and ensure responsible AI behavior.

India's IT Ministry has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to X over widespread misuse of Grok AI for generating obscene deepfake images of women and children without consent. Triggered by Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi's complaint, the directive demands immediate content removal, stronger safeguards, and platform accountability to protect privacy and dignity. Non-compliance could cost X its legal safe harbour status under Indian laws. This action signals tougher scrutiny on AI ethics and women's online safety.
