The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has said that Prasar Bharati has no link with “Trilok,” an AI-driven music band, despite rising debate in Parliament and public concern over the use of artificial intelligence in government media. This clarification was given in a written reply submitted in the Rajya Sabha on Friday.
Trilok, created by Collective Media Network, is a music act made fully through AI. The vocals, lyrics, visuals and even the characters of the band are generated by artificial intelligence. There are no human performers involved; AI tools create both the music and the band’s persona.
Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting Dr L. Murugan stated that Prasar Bharati has not collaborated with the AI band for content on Akashvani, Doordarshan or the WAVES OTT platform. His statement comes after criticism sparked by claims that the broadcaster had begun airing AI-made music, raising concerns among artists and rights owners.
The ministry, however, noted that AI-generated devotional tracks were played during the Durga Navratri festival as part of a small trial. Murugan clarified that this trial did not require any funds, budget approvals or ongoing commitments.
