Recently, the advancement of artificial intelligence technology and the risks of biometric leakage and online fraud that it may bring have once again become a hot topic. When biometrics were first proposed, they were seen as a high-end advanced technology, and many people were looking forward to its application prospects. However, I pointed out the possible negative impact of the problem early on, but many people at the time did not agree with this idea and even skepticized it.
In recent years, a number of events have once again confirmed the existence of these problems. CCTV reported that five criminals used AI face-swapping technology to successfully steal doctors' medical insurance cards, with an amount of up to 140,000 yuan. Advances in this technology have also raised eyebrows, such as OpenAI's recently launched Voice Engine technology, which mimics a person's voice with a realistic effect through short audio samples, and can even generate an emotionally charged voice, which could lead to more online scams.
While these new technologies may bring convenience to people's lives, their misuse could lead to the collapse of the social credit system. For example, people habitually trust the voice on the phone, but if a scammer can imitate the voice of an acquaintance, it can make it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, thus breaking the trust system.
Technological advances in AI may also be used in the military field, such as mimicking the voice of a commander to cause confusion in the command of the military, which will pose a greater threat to society.
In this context, one must recognize that the development of technology will not only bring benefits, but can also lead to a series of problems. The regulation and use of these new technologies must be strengthened to ensure the safety and stability of society.
