Recently, the indecent video of Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen being exchanged for face with AI software was spread throughout the Internet, and the "Tsai Ing-wen" in the video squeezed her eyebrows at the camera and lost her image. At present, the case of hundreds of women including female "legislators" of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party, Internet celebrities, and entertainers being changed their faces has become the focus of public opinion in Taiwan Province, causing a series of social ethics and legal issues.
According to Taiwan Provincial Media reports, Internet celebrities suspected of using face-changing software to make indecent videos for profit were arrested by the Taiwan police on October 18, and Tsai Ing-wen immediately posted that night that "these fake messages and videos may one day hurt you and me", and she also said that she would re-inventory the laws and regulations and study and promote the revision of the law for various types of online gender-based violence such as face-changing crimes.
The AI face-changing technology involved this time is called deep forgery technology (Deepfake), which is a technology that uses emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to manipulate audio, video, image or text content with the intention of misleading effects, and the fake images and videos generated can imitate the target's facial expressions, movements and voice tones, tones and other information, subverting the traditional cognitive concept that people see what they see.
It can be seen from the incident of Tsai Ing-wen being replaced by AI that the abuse of deep forgery technology not only infringes on personal privacy and damages the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, but also misleads political public opinion and seriously affects social stability and national security.
In view of the current increasing impact of the application of AI face-changing, Article 1019 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China stipulates: "No organization or individual may infringe on the portrait rights of others by means of defacing, defacing, or using information technology means to forge." Without the consent of the portrait rights holder, the portrait of the portrait rights holder shall not be produced, used or disclosed, except as otherwise provided by law. "The continuous improvement of regulations is a wake-up call for the abuse of new technologies of artificial intelligence, and it is also a necessary regulation of the people and behaviors that use new technologies."
Now that the videos and images generated by deep forgery technology have reached the point where they are false and cannot be recognized by the naked eye, how to identify the authenticity of these false information? In order to protect personal privacy, ensure the validity of audio and video evidence, and maintain judicial credibility, Meiya Berke has developed an image authentication device for the authenticity and originality of various types of forged video images - AI-3300 "Wise Eye" video image authenticity identification workstation.
