It was rumored on the Internet that "the woman died suddenly after the electric car was investigated", and the publisher was detained for using AI to spread rumors

Shaanxi Tian released a message on the online platform in June this year, saying that a woman's electric car was seized and caused a sudden death of heart disease, which aroused social concern. What is the real situation?

On June 11, a message appeared on an online platform about "the collision between law enforcement and human nature: a fifty-year-old woman's electric car was seized and died suddenly". The news said: A woman in Chengcheng County "hurried to take care of her seriously ill father", and when she encountered the traffic police to enforce the law, she was "full of helplessness and panic", and after "begging to no avail" and "the electric car was detained", "her emotions collapsed instantly" and "she had a heart attack", and finally "still failed to survive this hurdle", and pictures were also distributed below the text. This article with twists and turns has been viewed more than 20,000 times in more than a day, and there are also a large number of comments and concerns, which has caused a great negative impact on the local area.

Use AI tools to make up rumors

Tian was administratively detained

This news also attracted the attention of the police in Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province, and after investigation, the news was purely a rumor.

Hao Chao, police officer of Weizhuang Police Station, Chengcheng County Public Security Bureau: After investigation, on the evening of June 11, Tian swiped a message about the traffic police detaining an electric car when he was playing with his mobile phone at home, and found that netizens paid great attention to it. He wants to take advantage of this hotspot to publish this post on his account to get attention and traffic, increase his fans, and finally get some "bounty" on the platform.

Because Tian's education level is limited and he can't write an article, he uses AI tools to change the information he saw about the traffic police detaining the car, and then add two network maps to process and generate "a corner of Chengcheng County...... Fifty-year-old woman's electric car was seized and died suddenly", and posted it to her account on one of her platforms. On June 13, the police summoned Tian. Tian confessed to fabricating rumors through AI software, and the public security organs placed Tian under administrative detention for 10 days in accordance with the law.

Du Hui, Captain of the Cyber Security Brigade of the Chengcheng County Public Security Bureau: Cyberspace is not a place outside the law. It is necessary to use new technologies and applications in accordance with laws and regulations, not to spread rumors, not to spread rumors, not to believe rumors, and to jointly maintain a clean network environment.

Doxxing fake video publishers spread rumors

In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has become increasingly popular, but it has been used by some people to fabricate rumors, and even generate realistic pictures, audio and video, subverting people's conventional perception of "pictures and truths", making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

In response to the so-called "a woman's electric car in Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province was seized and died suddenly", the reporter analyzed and found that the rumor-mongering routine of Internet blogger Tian can be roughly divided into the following steps:

The first step is to select the news about the seizure of electric vehicles by the traffic police as the theme;

The second step is to fabricate the false plot of "the woman was in a hurry to take care of her seriously ill father, but she encountered the traffic police to enforce the law and begged to no avail", which caused the false plot of sudden death from a heart attack, so as to win the sympathy and attention of netizens;

The third step is to use AI technology to transform the original traffic police law enforcement information, and then match it with an online map, process and generate false information, and publish it to the platform account.
