With the development and application of AI technology, I never expected that it was the scammers who first used AI to make money.
Recently, a number of AI fraud cases have attracted attention, and the fraud amount has reached several million. This is undoubtedly a vigilance against the continuous development of AI technology since this year, and it reminds everyone to always pay attention to network information security and improve security awareness.
Pay the scammer 4.3 million yuan in 10 minutes
Mr. Guo, the legal representative of a technology company in Fuzhou City, was defrauded of 4.3 million yuan in 10 minutes by the other party on the grounds of borrowing an account for transfer. It was later discovered that the friend in the video was actually faked by scammers using AI face swapping and onomatopoeia.
This is a new type of telecom fraud that has recently emerged nationwide, which uses AI artificial intelligence to imitate the voice and appearance of the victim's friends or relatives through "face changing" and "onomatopoeia" technology, so as to deceive the victim's trust and carry out online fraud.

Also deceived was Mr. Ho. The scammer used intelligent AI to change faces and pretend to be "friends", had a 9-second video call with the victim, Mr. Ho, and then hung up on the grounds of a meeting. Subsequently, the scammer told Mr. He on QQ that he urgently needed capital turnover. Mr. He made a video call to confirm, and based on his trusted "friend" relationship, he immediately called 2.45 million yuan to the other party's designated account, and only later called to learn that he had been deceived.
With the development of artificial intelligence technology, AI applications have gradually landed. But surprisingly, fraudsters using AI technology have become the first to eat crabs, and from the current case, the success rate of AI face swapping fraud is very high, which is impossible to prevent.
AI "deception" is diverse, and it is necessary to polish your eyes for recognition
From the technical principle, AI face changing and onomatopoeia technology is essentially the secondary processing and utilization of biometric information such as face and voice, which can generally extract key features from known data, simulate operations through deep learning algorithms, and finally generate realistic images and voices, which is also an important achievement of artificial intelligence technology in recent years.
Such cutting-edge technology has been used by fraudsters in many scenarios.
Recently, Fortune magazine reported that a Snapchat influencer from California, USA, has 1.8 million followers and has more than 1,000 boyfriends at the same time.
She sells AI versions of herself and falls in love with her boyfriends for a dollar a minute. If 20,000 of her fans are willing to pay for the AI version and become a regular user, she will be able to generate $5 million a month, which is $60 million (about 416 million yuan) a year, and an estimated annual income of more than $60 million (about 400 million yuan).

Some time ago, two high school students used AI to generate nude photos and monetize wildly. They use AI to generate a beautiful blogger, as long as you chat with her privately, she will sell you intimate photos, which is really punishable.

Whether it is legitimate AI business or illegitimate, you should be able to distinguish between real people and AI, and you can react in the first time if you are really deceived by AI.
Generally speaking, because the accurate collection of face feature data is not easy, most of them use frontal ID photos for simulation replacement, some fake faces blink significantly less frequently than normal people, and even do not blink, the same is true of open mouths, the action may also be very stiff, the texture is not free, so you can roughly judge the authenticity by observing blinking, opening the mouth, turning the head and other actions.
There is an urgent need to strengthen the awareness of network information security
With the advancement of AI technology, the threshold for AI face change is indeed getting lower and lower, which means that the possibility of face privacy being violated will increase.
However, many people do not have a good understanding of network security, some emphasize development over security, construction over protection, and some think that network security is a matter for professional departments and has nothing to do with themselves. None of these perceptions are true. Everyone should constantly strengthen their awareness of network security and truly build a "firewall" of network security in their minds.
The trend of AI development is unstoppable, but AI technology is a double-edged sword, which requires legal supervision and people's protection. For ordinary people, it is understandable to learn AI technology to improve themselves, and it is absolutely forbidden to use AI technology to engage in illegal behavior. Only by improving their own security awareness and prevention capabilities can they effectively avoid becoming victims of AI fraud.
At present, the network information security industry has a large talent gap, market supply and demand imbalance, rich employment opportunities, if you want to engage in this industry, you can consider coming to Jiahua Golden Spider to learn network information security engineer courses, three different stages of courses for students with different abilities, whether you are zero-based learning or want to further improve, network information security engineer courses can meet.
Experience before deciding, absolutely human. This course is now free for 7 days, after which the final decision will be made according to your own situation.
