Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media has transformed global communication and information sharing, fostering unprecedented connectivity. However, these platforms have also become hubs for the spread of fake news and hate speech, which threatens social cohesion. This article explores AI's dual role in combating fake news and hate speech on social media platforms in India. While AI offers promising solutions for detecting and reducing harmful content, it raises ethical and social concerns that may aggravate existing societal tensions. The analysis emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that effectively manages harmful content while preserving freedom of speech and avoiding excessive censorship. It also discusses the potential for AI to evolve into a more ethical, inclusive, and culturally sensitive tool within India's dynamic digital landscape, and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among AI developers, policymakers, and social scientists to ensure that AI technologies serve both technological innovation and social equity.
