Veteran writer Hafeez Tahir, the creator of the iconic Pakistani children’s show “Ainak Wala Jin,” has expressed strong outrage over Pakistan Television’s (PTV) recent creation of an AI-generated film based on the series. Tahir argues PTV did not seek his permission or the consent of others involved in the original production before utilizing AI to recreate characters and storylines. He views the film as a blatant disregard for copyright and a disrespectful appropriation of his life's work. The writer feels the AI recreation lacks the creativity and heart of the original show, diminishing its legacy. PTV has defended the project as a “tribute” and a way to reintroduce the show to a new generation, but Tahir remains unconvinced, threatening legal action. The controversy highlights growing concerns regarding the use of AI in creative industries and the protection of intellectual property rights in Pakistan.
