ChatGPT Fake Aadhaar PAN Card: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, particularly its GPT-4 model, is again making waves, this time for its capacity to create simulated identification documents such as Aadhaar and PAN cards. The increasing ability of AI to replicate official templates to an incredibly accurate degree has made it easier than ever to create realistic-looking counterfeit IDs. Something that required sophisticated Photoshop skills and technical knowledge in the past can now be done via a simple text prompt.

Users Post Proof of Creating Replica Documents

Twitter has been inundated with posts from users who proved that ChatGPT, if prompted correctly, can produce replica IDs similar to original government documents. Yashwant Sai Palaghat tweeted that ChatGPT was able to generate Aadhaar and PAN cards in seconds, saying it is a serious threat to national security and individual privacy.

Intentional Prompts Give Realistic Outputs

Another user, Piku, said that by providing only a name, date of birth, and address, ChatGPT was able to generate nearly identical Aadhaar copies with ChatGPT. These documents were so similar in design and layout that they were nearly identical to the originals. The precision of these answers has raised many eyebrows as to how AI models are aware of such minute design details of official documents.

Questions About Data Sources and Regulation

This has raised eyebrows on where AI technology is collecting the designs of such sensitive documents. Is publicly available information being accessed by AI companies, or are some sort of leaks occurring behind the scenes? There are calls for answers and increased regulation. That an AI can so closely replicate IDs indicates either massive exposure to actual samples or exposure to training data that may have included sensitive designs.

The Need for AI Regulation Increases

As cybercriminals are now perhaps getting easy access to identity fraud tools, people and experts demand an urgent solution in the form of regulation for generative AI technologies. As much as there are many good uses of these platforms, illegal use of these platforms to operate illegal activities might have dangerous consequences in the real world. Governments would have to intervene and introduce standards for ethically developing AI before things get out of control.
