Don't let AI facelift technology become a tool for fraud

2023-05-26   

On April 20th this year, Mr. Guo, the legal representative of a well-known enterprise in Fuzhou, unexpectedly received a video call message from a "close friend". During the chat, a "close friend" told Mr. Guo that his friend was bidding outside of town and required a deposit of 4.3 million yuan, which also required posting to a public account. Therefore, he wanted to borrow his company's account to transfer funds. Due to Mr. Guo confirming the other party's face and voice through the video, there is no doubt that he transferred 4.3 million yuan in two installments. Afterwards, Mr. Guo contacted his friend by phone and only discovered that the other party had used intelligent AI technology to pretend to be a friend and committed fraud against him. Fortunately, with the collaboration of Fuzhou and Baotou police, Mr. Guo recovered 3.36 million yuan of the funds he had been deceived. From the case disclosed by the police, it can be seen that this fraud tactic is not very innovative, and can even be said to be a replication of the old routine. However, due to the use of AI face changing technology in this scam tactic, fraudsters are more likely to successfully impersonate others. In the above case, the fundamental reason why Mr. Guo, the party involved, without hesitation, transferred funds to the fraudster who impersonated him as a "close friend" was that the latter's disguised face was too realistic, making Mr. Guo deeply believe in him. AI face changing refers to using AI artificial intelligence technology to replace someone else's face with one's own. In the early stages, AI face changing technology was often used in various entertainment scenarios, such as fans replacing their faces with those of singers, in order to "overindulge" them. However, with the iteration and replacement of AI face changing technology, the effect of face changing has become more realistic, and some unscrupulous individuals who are "empty handed and deceitful" have also seen opportunities to accumulate wealth, leading to AI face changing technology becoming a tool for fraud. Compared to ordinary fraud techniques, fraud tactics implemented using AI face changing technology have the characteristics of non-contact, precise targeting of victims, strong concealment, and the easiest to succeed. At the same time, AI face changing technology is simple to use, highly replicable, and has low illegal costs, which makes it difficult for victims to identify true and false, making it difficult to prevent. Therefore, innovative governance measures are needed to prevent AI facelift technology from becoming a tool for fraud crimes. To prevent AI face-shifting technology from becoming a scam tool, it is necessary to show off and hit this scam trick immediately. Relevant departments should strengthen cross regional and cross departmental coordination and linkage, and carry out joint strikes and prevention. In the above cases, the police in Fuzhou and Baotou joined forces and, with the assistance of banks, successfully stopped the loss of 3.36 million yuan for the victims, fully demonstrating the importance of cross regional and cross departmental collaboration in combating AI related face changing technology fraud crimes, which is worth learning from in various regions, departments, and industries. The fundamental strategy to crack down on crimes related to AI face changing technology fraud lies in promoting good governance through good laws. Although China has issued Regulations on the Management of Network Audio and Video Information Services, Regulations on the Management of Internet Information Services Deep Synthesis and other regulations, which have certain binding force on the application of AI facelift technology, these regulations are low level and lack of systematicness, which is difficult to meet the actual needs of combating AI facelift technology fraud. Relevant departments should adhere to the guidance of both "addressing the symptoms urgently" and "focusing on addressing the root cause". While improving existing legal norms in a timely manner, they should also focus on formulating a unified upper level law in the long run, in order to use strict and perfect laws,
