Less than two weeks after its launch, OpenAI’s upgraded image generator in ChatGPT has raised privacy concerns by creating fake government ID cards with Aadhaar and PAN numbers.

Users on X shared concerns about security risks and called for AI regulation after screenshots showed AI-generated ID cards with fictional details.

When tested, ChatGPT refused to generate Aadhaar or PAN cards, citing legal and ethical restrictions, but allowed the creation of parody-style badges and profile cards.

In a later test, ChatGPT placed an image in a PAN card template, asking about cropping and file format preferences. The output appeared AI-generated, with minor errors in text and design.

Further refinements produced a more realistic-looking PAN card with placeholders for key details. Adding fake information made the final output more convincing.

Real Aadhaar and PAN cards have security features like holograms, QR codes, and microtext, which were absent in AI-generated versions, making them easy to spot as fake.

While these AI-generated IDs may not bypass KYC verification, scammers could still use them to deceive individuals. The increasing availability of AI tools with fewer restrictions raises further concerns.
