Technology is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself.
And now, this sword, which should have been used for the benefit of the people, has suffered greatly.
At the recent two sessions, Jin Dong, as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, put forward a proposal, which attracted angry praise from the whole network.
This proposal is about the AI face-swapping that once plunged South Korea into a social-level panic......
AI face swapping
At the opening of the two sessions this year, Jin Dong, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a top actor representing the entertainment industry, also attended the two sessions.
At the meeting, the first proposal he put forward was to strictly restrict AI face swapping, that is, deepfake technology.
Since the birth of GhatGPT, various industries have begun to delve into the use of AI, which naturally includes PS.
It is precisely because of this that a special technology "deepfake technology" was born, which is to change A's face to B's body through artificial intelligence.
Originally, this technology has a great future in the entertainment field, but some people use it in places where it should not be used.
A few years ago, when this technology was first born, some people in the United States used this technology to frantically fake photos of Hollywood stars and extort money.
Later, with the popularization of this technology, more and more companies and even individuals can use this technology to make photos and even videos of celebrities.
In China, among the victims of this technology, the most famous one is Jin Dong.
About three years ago, a large number of short video accounts under the banner of Jin Dong appeared on the Internet.
These people use Jin Dong's avatar, and the profile is written as if it is really Jin Dong.
And their routines are also difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, first using Jin Dong's image in the eyes of middle-aged and elderly women to open the heart, and then using routines to deceive them.
During that time, there were often news that women were defrauded and went bankrupt, which once victimized Jin Dong's reputation.
According to Jin Dong, at that time, friends often called him to ask about the situation, and even if his studio came forward to clarify, saying that he did not have these accounts, there were still people who were deceived.
It is precisely because of the lessons learned in this incident that Jin Dong will put forward this proposal to restrict AI face swapping at this meeting.
Moreover, in addition to Jin Dong, among the 5 suggestions put forward by Lei Jun, a representative of the National People's Congress and the boss of Xiaomi, this year, there is also a governance AI voice change.
During last year's National Day, a large number of videos dubbed by Lei Jun appeared on short video platforms.
Some of these videos are acupuncture and current disadvantages, and some are sharp and directly scolded, which attracted many netizens to Lei Jun's Weibo and sprayed directly.
At that time, Lei Jun was still confused, and after careful inspection, he found that these so-called Lei Jun reviews were basically all fake.
Someone created Lei Jun's voice pack through AI and posted it on the Internet for others to use, and those who posted the video used this voice pack to make these videos.
In fact, what happened to Lei Jun and Jin Dong is just a representative of the celebrities who are persecuted by AI face swapping in China.
There are many more who have suffered from the damage they have suffered before the perpetrators are apprehended, and there is no guarantee that these wounds will be repaired.
Moreover, from a certain level, these material losses may only be the harm of AI face swapping, which is relatively light.
Because, just in South Korea, which is only one sea away from us, AI face swapping has caused a more serious social crisis!
Panicked Korean woman
If you were to select the countries with the most rampant AI face-swapping crimes in the world, there would be no competition from other countries other than South Korea.
In 2023, the U.S. security services conducted an investigation into deepfake technology crimes, and this report shows.
More than half of the world's deepfakes are Koreans, far more than the next few countries combined.
Although as early as 2023, because of the N-room incident, South Korea has introduced multiple bills to combat and sanction AI face-swapping crimes, but this is not useful.
Just last May, another related crime broke out at Seoul National University in South Korea, where two Seoul National University students used AI to swap their faces to create pornographic videos.
On the one hand, they sell videos to make money, and on the other hand, they will use these fake videos to blackmail their victims.
According to statistics, there are more than 60 victims in the case of these two people alone, and this incident is only the tip of the iceberg of South Korea's AI face-swapping crime.
Map of the deeply falsified victim school
Because in South Korea now, this new type of crime is most prevalent in minors, who commit crimes with impunity just for fun.
And in the AI face-swapping videos they disseminate, most of the victims are close relatives, such as mothers, sisters, and younger sisters.
Some people may just see a good-looking classmate at school and take a photo and fake a video.
Moreover, because the videos are mostly only circulated in Telegram, and the software is largely unmonitored, it is difficult for the South Korean police to investigate.
There are even criminals who let out wild words: "Only fools will be caught!" "The degree of unscrupulousness can be seen.
Many of the perpetrators are minors, and so are the victims.
A survey by South Korean authorities found that more than 30 percent of the more than 700 victims in the first half of last year were minors.
As for why it is so rampant, it is also inseparable from the APP "Telegram".
Last year, a South Korean media reported that more than 220,000 people participated in just one chat room related to AI face swapping, including a large number of students and minors.
These participants only need to upload a photo to the chat room, and after just 5 seconds of payment, they get a fake pornographic image.
It is precisely because of these frequent AI face-swapping crimes that Korean women say "we have no country".
The precedent is in front of us, although the social atmosphere on the mainland is much better than that of South Korea, and the antagonism between men and women has not reached the extreme.
But even then, it is impossible not to ignore these circumstances.
So, looking at these, who can say that Lei Jun and Jin Dong's proposal is not necessary?
