SGPC writes emails to AI platforms urging them to stop alleged spread of misinformation about Gurbani

The Sikh apex body, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), has issued emails to tech giants including ChatGPT, Gemini AI, Google, and others, asking them to stop distorting information related to Gurbani and Sikh history. The SGPC claims it has received several complaints from users that AI tools are spreading distorted versions of Gurbani, Sikh personalities, and historic events.


SGPC president and advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami said in an official statement that Sikhism has its original scripts and "no one can be allowed to change it". He stated that in their efforts to create content, AI tools are distorting the original script and its meaning.

But in a world where many Sikhs across the globe connect with Gurbani via apps and websites, how can the alleged misinformation or distortion be recognised?
Globally respected educator, activist, writer, and thinker — Innovation Director and Senior Fellow at the Sikh Research Institute (SikhRI) — Harinder Singh told SBS Punjabi earlier that users should be aware that social media organisations are also "businesses".

He also said these businesses should be run with a sense of social responsibility.
