See you at 8 o'clock in the news丨True and false health certificate; AI face-swapping black industry investigation

See you at 8 o'clock, a little more insight. Meet you every morning at 8 p.m. on time to see the bigger world.

Recently, a reporter from the Beijing News visited many places to investigate and found that there are loopholes in the issuance, use and supervision of health certificates. This series of problems has given rise to the phenomenon of "flooding false evidence".

"Takeaway, courier platform packaged." In the WeChat group of a takeaway rider in Zhengzhou, Ayu (pseudonym) sends a message from time to time to apply for a health certificate.

After adding WeChat, Ayu told the Beijing News reporter that as long as he provided his name, age and a selfie, he could apply for a health certificate the next day without going to the hospital for a physical examination. If she wants to be a takeaway rider, the health certificate she issued also passes the platform's review.

In late May 2023, a reporter from the Beijing News visited Hefei, Zhengzhou, Jinan, Beijing and other places to investigate and found that there are "blind spots" in the issuance, use and supervision of health certificates: some hospitals directly collect money and issue certificates without physical examination; Employers such as takeaway platforms and catering enterprises acquiesce in or even cooperate with practitioners to commit fraud; The lack of online medical examination filing information makes it difficult for regulatory authorities to verify...

During the above-mentioned investigations, the Beijing News reporters successfully obtained "health certificates" without physical examination, including fake certificates handled by counterfeiters, as well as genuine certificates issued by some hospitals. Some counterfeiters have packed tickets: "Law enforcement officers can't find out the authenticity, let alone employers such as restaurants and takeaway platforms." ”

Fu Jian, a lawyer at Henan Zejian Law Firm, said that forging and using fake health certificates are illegal. According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, anyone who forges the seals of companies, enterprises, public institutions or people's organizations shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years. Anyone who uses a fake health certificate, violates the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, buys or sells or uses forged or altered official documents, certificates or supporting documents may be detained for not less than 10 days but not more than 15 days and fined.

In interviews, many people who apply for fake health certificates bluntly said that they did not have a problem with their physical health, but because they were troublesome to go to the hospital for physical examination. The staff of the Jinan Licheng District Health and Family Planning Supervision Institute said that in addition to self-paid physical examinations, there are also free physical examinations in many places, and it is illegal to apply for false certificates.

Gong Ke, former president of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations and executive director of China's New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy Research Institute, said that generative AI (artificial intelligence) marks a new stage in the development of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is the strategic basis for leading this round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, science and technology is strategic productivity, resulting in spillover effects, head geese effect, "I do not agree with Musk's view of stopping the development of AI, no one can block the progress of advanced productivity, but we can let advanced productivity develop on the right track." Gong said.

Gong Ke called for the establishment of an industry platform to truly integrate the real economy and artificial intelligence. He also mentioned that the recent "mutation" of artificial intelligence represents that artificial intelligence large models can achieve unprecedented performance indicators. At the same time, Gong pointed out that this is only the beginning of a new phase.

He Baohong, director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology, believes that "the general big model is a standard ChatGPT, a consumer-grade big model, a standardized service, and a public service." After several months of discussion and practice, everyone found that it requires massive data, huge computing power and a large number of talents, and the threshold is extremely high, belonging to a small number of players. He Baohong said, "So some people began to choose to do industry large models, that is, vertical large models, focusing on specific fields, facing enterprises to solve specific problems in specific fields, there are more non-standardized things." ”

"The next step, to make a general large model and a vertical large model, will it move towards integration?" He Baohong said, "In the medium and long term, what users need is a "hybrid large model". He Baohong pointed out that the large model represented by ChatGPT can be called public AI, and the large model of the industry can be called private AI. Just like the concept of cloud computing, there will be public clouds and private clouds, and then there are hybrid clouds and multiclouds. Thematic >>>

While AI is booming, there are increasing illegal acts of fraud and defamation using fake audio and video such as "AI face change" and "AI voice change".

The video connection lasted only 7 seconds, looking at the familiar face on the screen and listening to the familiar voice coming from the mobile phone, Fang Yangyou believed what the new account that had just added himself as a friend said - he was indeed his relative, and 300,000 yuan was transferred to the bank account provided by the other party. "Everything turned out to be fake." At the end of June 2023, Zhang Zhenhua, captain of the criminal police brigade of the Shanghe County Public Security Bureau, introduced the case to a reporter from the Beijing News, "This is the recently popular 'AI fraud', a fraud method that uses intelligent AI technology to carry out fraud." ”

Previously, Internet police in Harbin, Fuzhou and other places have reported fraud incidents related to AI face changing. There are also scammers who target the "voice".

In 2022, lawyer Ma Junzhe revealed his experience of being defrauded by telecommunications by 30,000 yuan in a short video. The scammer used AI technology to synthesize Ma Junzhe's mother's voice and called him pretending to be his mother, saying that his father had broken bones due to a car accident and urgently needed 30,000 yuan in medical expenses, hoping that Ma Junzhe would transfer the money to her friend's account.

Wang Jie, deputy director and associate researcher at the Institute of Rule of Law at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, who has long been engaged in anti-fraud research, believes that in the era of artificial intelligence, faces and voices have become a kind of information that urgently needs to be protected. However, with the development of AI technology, the use of AI face changing technology for fraud, rumor-mongering, infringement of portrait rights or intellectual property rights has occurred frequently, which means that the technology is being abused, and the important information of the face is easily "lost".

Technology continues to be updated, and the threshold for the public to access AI real-time face changing technology is gradually decreasing. An investigation by a reporter from the Beijing News found that AI real-time face changing technology is sold on multiple platforms at a price of about 100 yuan, and one of the merchants said that 368 yuan can buy its own real-time face changing program, which can be used unlimited times within 50 years. Considerable profits drive the development of AI gray market, some merchants claim to have a monthly income of up to 200,000 yuan, he claims that he can do any video, arbitrarily change a face into a pornographic video, it only takes 150 yuan a minute.

"Our future will definitely coexist with AI," Wang said, which means that humans will also coexist with AI infringements. He believes that future legislation should pay timely attention to new phenomena and problems in the process of technological development, ordinary netizens should enhance their awareness of high-risk networks, and law enforcement supervision departments should accelerate technological upgrading, develop detection technologies such as "face reversal", and use artificial intelligence technology to improve case-handling capabilities.

"Those who provide important clues will be rewarded with 2 million yuan, and those who find and return them safely will be given 10 million yuan." Recently, this news has spread on the Internet. However, according to the latest information report of the Zhengzhou police, the news was fabricated by personnel of a media limited company, and Yang Moubing, the offender, has been sentenced to 15 days of administrative detention in accordance with the law.

A piece of false news consumes immeasurable social attention and leads to the tearing of the foundation of social trust. The offenders not only fabricated the lost meritorious dog out of thin air, but also spread false news that "the dog owner only gave a reward of 5,000 yuan to the citizens who helped find the dog", which triggered countless discussions about morality and law. Now, although this outright farce has ended, its damage to the ecology of public opinion continues.

On July 5, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of "Self-Media", which repeatedly emphasized that the authenticity of information should be strengthened, and that information published by "self-media" must not be created out of thin air, taken out of context or distorted facts, and must not affect the authenticity of information by means such as patchwork editing, synthesis and forgery.

The latest regulations issued by the Internet regulatory authorities put forward clear requirements for "self-media" to do a good job in self-discipline and management, and also provide a solid basis for platforms to carry out management and rectification. Those bad "self-media" that make up fake news, consume public sympathy, and do everything for the sake of clicks should have been eliminated a long time ago.

The relevant departments have strengthened the management of "self-media" in accordance with the law and maintained a strict management situation, which is also to promote the ecological and healthy production of public opinion, let high-quality content and high-quality information service providers stand out, promote the survival of the fittest in the industry, and make it more convenient for the broad audience to obtain high-quality information products.

Even Wang Baoqiang himself did not expect that "In the Octagon Cage" would be six years in one shot. He even sighed that "in recent years, everyone thought that Wang Baoqiang had disappeared and did not come out", and he smiled helplessly, "To be precise, it should be that Wang Baoqiang has no market, or he has long been eliminated by this circle." "Don't believe it, others will really think so, for example, some investors will make it very clear that you don't use Wang Baoqiang in this play." He can't see anything other than his own movie with his heart, and he's already trapped in the 'octagon'. ”

In the film, Xiang Tenghui, played by Wang Baoqiang, is a martial arts athlete with a dream, who was framed for not playing fake boxing according to the coach's requirements; In order to help the children in the mountains, he was ridiculed and experienced life changes again and again... Why are good people always less smooth? He laughed and said, probably because they are good at talking and bullied. But because of their desire for good, they are often the ones most obsessed with pursuing their fiery dreams.

"They're stupid, but they're so 'weedy and indomitable.'" "So, you really like the words 'born like weeds, indomitable'?" "Yes, that's me and my movie."

Before the film was released, the reporter asked him to preset the result, Wang Baoqiang was full of confidence, saying that this time he would definitely win back the word of mouth, of course, he also cared about the box office, after all, he owed a debt for this movie over the years. But none of this is as important as "the audience feels satisfied". As of press time, the film's box office has exceeded 1 billion yuan, and the Douban score is 7.5, which fulfills Wang Baoqiang's expectations and also gives him an armor as a director, "At the end of "In the Octagon", you and I both know that justice will win, but the process is extremely moving. My three views are to give people hope, and the more desperate people are, the more they must see hope. Read more>>>

On the afternoon of July 11, local time, Prayuth announced his retirement from politics through the social account of the Thai Unity Founding Party: "From now on, I hope to retire from politics and resign as a member of the Thai United Founding Party." "Prayuth will continue to serve as caretaker prime minister until a new government comes to power.

According to Xu Liping, a researcher at the Asia-Pacific and Global Strategy Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Prayuth's greatest achievement is probably to stabilize Thailand's political situation and society. Xu Liping said in an interview with a reporter from the Beijing News that before Prayuth came to power, there were continuous street political movements in Thailand, which dealt a very big blow to Thailand's economy and society. Prayuth's rise to power through a military coup, followed by successful elections in 2019 and a gradual return to government are key to maintaining stability in Thai society.

According to Thailand's "Bangkok Post", on July 13, local time, the Thai parliament will vote to elect a new prime minister, and whether the 42-year-old leader of the Far Forward Party and prime minister favorite Pita can be successfully elected is the biggest attraction.

Xu Liping believes that conservative forces are still very strong in Thailand today, so any new coalition government must win the support of conservative forces if it is to govern successfully and effectively. "At present, the unity of conservative forces, coupled with the support of the House of Lords, is likely to succeed in forming a government. But this situation is not good, so conservatives may join forces with an emerging force such as the Pheu Thai Party to form a coalition. Read more>>>
