In China, artificial intelligence and AI anchors are making news during the Lunar New Year holiday, which is the biggest holiday, and is becoming a hot topic.
China has been promoting AI technology development with the goal of becoming number one in the world by 2030.
As technology grows, crimes abusing it also increase, so we are struggling to come up with countermeasures.

″Hello viewers, how are you? Welcome to watch the broadcast. My name is AI anchor Xiaoyu. Nice to meet you all.″
This anchor is an AI announcer modeled following a real announcer.
Both their appearance and speech are so sophisticated that it is difficult to distinguish them from real people.
The broadcaster entrusted the news to an AI anchor to replace the existing anchor who was on vacation during the Chinese New Year holiday.

″Hangzhou announced 15 excellent private enterprises that helped the city become wealthy.″
As the use of AI increases, crimes using AI also increase.
A representative example is a crime using deepfake technology, which uses AI to manipulate a person’s face or voice.
Recently, an incident occurred in Hong Kong where a group of people posing as corporate executives using deepfake technology received 200 million dollars in Hong Kong money and 34 billion won in Korean money.

″Criminals secured the video in advance and used AI to create fake voices to use during video conferences.″
As the number of phishing crimes using deepfake videos to impersonate family members or acquaintances and send money to people increased, the Chinese government also created and distributed a video explaining precautions.

“be careful. Protect yourself by not publishing photos, videos, or voices that show your face.″
China is fostering the artificial intelligence field under state leadership, investing 19 trillion won last year alone.
However, as crimes taking advantage of this are rampant, it is difficult to come up with countermeasures.
