@iitmadras has launched the Language and Cognition Laboratory (LC-Lab) in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, an experimental linguistics lab to advance interdisciplinary, experimental research on India’s linguistic diversity.
The LC-Lab was inaugurated by Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, in the presence of Prof. Rajesh Kumar, Head, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Dr. Anindita Sahoo, Faculty Coordinator, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences. The lab will explore how humans perceive, process, and produce language using techniques such as eye-tracking and reaction-time studies.
In the long term, the LC-Lab aims to contribute to human-centred, linguistically informed AI systems, working closely with the Centre for Responsible AI (CeRAI). Future research will integrate neurocognitive tools including EEG and TMS.
The inauguration also featured a symposium and panel discussion titled “Language for Thought: Exploring Interdisciplinary Dimensions,” with remarks by Prof. Balaraman Ravindran, Head, @cerai_iitm, and panelists Dr. Sanjiv Patjoshi (IPS), DGP, Prof. Vijayanthi Sarma, @iitbombay, and Prof. Maria Teresa Guasti, Università degli Studi Milano-Bicocca, moderated by Prof. Sudarsan Padmanabhan, IIT Madras.

With the growing sophistication of AI-generated content, the lines between real and artificial content are blurring faster than ever.
In their latest article, ‘Synthetic Media and Deepfakes – Explained for All,’ Vasundara Arunn, Akanksha Singh, Geetha Raju, and Prof. B. Ravindran, Head, WSAI, IIT Madras, explore the complex world of synthetic media, its creation, impact, and the challenges it poses to privacy, trust, and authenticity.
From understanding how deepfakes differ from synthetic media to examining their legal, social, and global implications, the authors provide an accessible yet comprehensive analysis of this evolving technological frontier. The piece also highlights India’s proactive efforts—through new legal amendments, responsible AI initiatives, and cross-sector collaborations to combat misuse and safeguard identity in the digital era.
Read the full article to understand how awareness, governance, and innovation can help us build a future where AI-generated media remains ethical, transparent, and accountable.
