SGPC urges Centre to act against misinformation on Sikhism by AI platforms
CHANDIGARH: Concerned over the spread of misinformation related to Gurbani, Sikh history, and religious teachings through Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has called on the Union Government to formulate a concrete policy to curb such practices. The SGPC has also written to multiple AI companies, urging them to take immediate corrective measures. In a formal communiqué, the SGPC has raised objections with a number of major AI platforms, including ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grok, Gemini AI, Meta, Google, VEO 3, Descript, Runway ML, Pictory, Magisto, InVideo, DALL·E 2, MidJourney, DeepAI, and others. The step follows multiple complaints from the Sikh community regarding the dissemination of distorted or inaccurate information about Gurbani (holy Sikh verses), Gurmat (Guru's wisdom), and Sikh historical narratives. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the Sikh faith has sacred traditions which must not be altered or misrepresented under any circumstances. 'In this era of fast-evolving technology, AI-generated content, including altered images and historical narratives, has deeply hurt Sikh sentiments. These distortions cannot be tolerated,' he stated. He stressed that Guru Granth Sahib is the supreme authority for Sikhs and that no tampering with its sacred verses is acceptable. 'Some AI tools have presented incorrect versions of Gurbani, which is not only misleading but amounts to sacrilege,' he said. The SGPC has issued emails to the concerned platforms, asking them to remove any such content and prevent further dissemination of misinformation.

SGPC flags distortion of Sikh history, Gurbani by AI tools
Taking serious note of complaints regarding alleged dissemination of misinformation related to Gurbani, Sikh history and principles through Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has approached multiple AI platforms with objections. The SGPC had received numerous objections in this regard and had formally asked the AI platforms via e-mail to take immediate corrective measures. The SGPC has written to ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grok, Gemini AI, Meta, Google, VEO 3, Descript, Runway ML, Pictory, Magisto, InVideo, DALL·E 2, MidJourney and DeepAI, among others. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said in this era of technology, distorted depictions of Sikh Gurus and historical narratives through AI-generated content, especially altered images, had deeply hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community. He emphasised that the Guru Granth Sahib was the supreme authority for Sikhs, and no tampering of its sacred verses was permissible. However, certain AI applications were presenting distorted versions of Gurbani, which amounted to disrespect and sacrilege. He added that the SGPC had received numerous objections in this regard and had formally asked the AI platforms via e-mail to take immediate corrective measures. Dhami also appealed to the Sikh community to avoid relying on such apps for spiritual learning, and instead consult authentic historical sources for accurate knowledge about Sikh history and traditions. The SGPC president has also appealed to home minister Amit Shah, asking the government to take official cognisance of this sensitive matter and frame a concrete policy to curb such practices.

SGPC objects to misinformation about Sikhism through AI platforms
Amritsar: The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has objected to the dissemination of misinformation related to Gurbani (holy Sikh verses), Sikh history, and Gurmat (Guru's wisdom) through artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami said on Thursday that the AI platforms to which the SGPC has written include ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grok, Gemini AI, Meta, Google, VEO 3, Descript, Runway ML, Pictory, Magisto, InVideo, DALL·E 2, MidJourney, DeepAI, and others. Dhami said that the Sikhism has its own sacred traditions which must not be altered under any circumstances. "In this era of technology, distorted depictions of Sikh Gurus and historical narratives through AI-generated content—especially altered images—have deeply hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community," he said. Dhami pointed out that many AI platforms are distributing content that misrepresents revered Sikh religious figures, scriptures, and symbols. "Young generations increasingly rely on technology to learn about their heritage, but the incomplete and inaccurate information being generated by AI is misleading them and causing harm to the spiritual integrity of Sikh principles," he added. Dhami said that even some Gurbani apps are not presenting it in its correct form, and the SGPC has already initiated action against such applications. Terming the matter extremely serious, he said that the SGPC will seek the cooperation of people and organisations working in this field to tackle the issue effectively. Dhami appealed to the Sikh community to avoid relying on such apps for spiritual learning and instead consult authentic historical sources for accurate knowledge about Sikh history and traditions. The SGPC president made an appeal to Union home minister Amit Shah, asking the govt to officially take cognisance of the sensitive matter and frame a concrete policy to curb such practices.
