CBSE faced criticism for sharing an AI-generated image to 'prove' its OSM portal is secure after a 19-year-old Class 12 student hacked it. Indian-American investor Deedy Das called the move "painfully embarrassing", while startup founder Nilesh Trivedi said, "This is the UIDAI playbook. Simply deny there's any problem." "Generating an AI image shows you lack respect for criticism," Das added.
