How a court case earned Anil Kapoor a spot on TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI 2024
Anil Kapoor
Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor is dominating the AI era! The renowned Indian actor has been named one of the TIME 100 Most Influential People in AI 2024. And, he's the only Indian actor to be mentioned in the list.
The actor is mentioned in the list due to a landmark judgement against artificial intelligence (AI) that he won in the Delhi High Court in September 2023.
In the realm of AI, Hollywood came to a standstill when the actors went on strike after studios planned to create AI replicas of the background actors and use them for an indefinite period. At the same time, in India, Anil went on to win the case in the Delhi High Court to protect his personality and prevent the misuse of his name, voice, and other attributes.

The court order has also restrained from using his iconic dialogue ''Jhakaas'' from the 1985 film Yudh. As per Variety, the order protects the actor's rights across all modes and media worldwide.
Reacting to his win, Kapoor told Variety, “I’m very happy with this court order, which has come in my favor, and I think it’s very progressive and great for not only me but for other actors also.”
