Regardless of building channels, attracting views, attracting interaction
Social networks have been buzzing in recent days with a series of clips recording a scene of a sexy dressed girl "dancing 1,000 times at a funeral". In the viral video, the girl appeared in the middle of the funeral space, dancing and posing offensively. After only a few days, the clip climbed straight to the TikTok trend, surpassing 4 million views, attracting thousands of comments condemning the girl as "insensitive, disrespectful to the deceased".
However, the problem lies in the fact that this is a product of AI. Real people do not exist. The face, body, and background are all built with image synthesis technology.
Notably, this is not the first time this account has posted similar content. Previously, a series of clips showing the girl "watching dishes at funerals", "sports crowds with priests", even " dancing in front of the altar"... were all created with AI. The account owner also actively responded to comments, further strengthening the belief that this was a real-life scene.
Although it has only been created for about a week, this account has had more than 5,000 followers and continuously owned millions of video views. The series of dirty clips that caused public outrage shows the sophistication and easily misunderstanding of AI-generated content, especially when it exploits sensitive, frustrating, and frustrating settings and spaces.
In another case, a TikTok account continuously posted a video about a woman who was "armed with two hands" to make a living by selling online to raise a young child. In the clips, the character appears in simple clothes, shaky voices, always talking about awkward circumstances to introduce cheap products such as paper towels, cleaning water... The content is a heavy hit on compassion, making many viewers emotional and immediately turning to support.
Following a series of videos, the woman said that her husband died in an accident, raising a small child alone. However, the details of the story change constantly between clips, from the time of losing her husband, living circumstances, to the reason for her disability.
Although he has just created a channel, this account quickly accelerated, with more than 100,000 followers in just 3 days, many videos reaching millions of views. The comments below are filled with sympathy, sharing and "support for the situation" orders.
The truth was then exposed as signs of AI images became increasingly clear, from the woman's very smooth wrist to the paint color of the house wall... It is worth mentioning that all warning comments were deleted by this account owner.
Strong sanctions are needed, not to let "sury get away"
The Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Lai Chau Provincial Police) recently issued a warning that one of the most sophisticated and dangerous tricks today is the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Fraudsters create videos and images impersonating ordinary people to become disabled, or create compassionate stories to call for donations.
This agency recommends that when seeing cases of calling for charity on social networks, carefully research the origin and identity of the poster. Notably, it is necessary to be vigilant with content that is easily emotional, be careful with videos and images of kindness that are spread with the purpose of calling for donations.
Lawyer Quach Thanh Luc (Hanoi Bar Association) commented: Using AI to create videos or images for entertainment purposes is legal. However, if individuals or organizations arbitrarily create, edit, or disseminate images and videos using AI without the consent of the relevant person, or use them to distort, fabricate, or commit fraud, that behavior can be considered a violation of the law. Depending on the severity, violators may be subject to administrative sanctions, forced to compensate for civil damages, and if there are serious consequences, this behavior can be completely prosecuted for criminal liability according to current regulations.
In addition to the vigilance story, many opinions also say that social networks also need to be responsible, increase filters and strong handling measures.
At a recent seminar on international cooperation in preventing and combating online fraud, Deputy Minister of Public Security Pham The Tung said that cybercriminals are taking full advantage of AI and Deepfake - technology to simulate human facial images, to reach people and commit fraud.
In Vietnam, with more than 78 million Internet users, 72 million social media users and nearly 170 million mobile connections, cyberspace has become an attractive target for high-tech criminals. In 2024 alone, the Ministry of Public Security discovered more than 6,000 online scams causing an estimated loss of VND 12,000 billion.
To repel cybercrime, Deputy Minister Pham The Tung said that the Ministry of Public Security has recently consulted to perfect regulations related to cyber security, telecommunications management, and digital financial services. Thereby, narrowing the legal gap that online scammers take advantage of.
"Most recently, we have also coordinated with Google and TikTok to implement propaganda campaigns to prevent and combat fraud. Call on people with influence in cyberspace to spread together" - Deputy Minister Pham The Tung said.
