Chinese actor expresses concern over AI scams impersonating him, seeks tougher laws
Chinese actor Jin Dong, a member of the CPPCC, called for stronger AI legislation during China's Two Sessions meeting to combat deepfake technology, particularly face-swapping, that has victimized many of his fans. Jin, a highly popular actor among middle-aged Chinese women, highlighted the need for better regulations to prevent further exploitation.
This call to action stems from past incidents where women were deceived by AI-generated fake Jin Dong personas on social media. In one notable case, a woman almost ended her marriage after believing false promises made by a deepfake video, illustrating the potential harm and the urgent need for protective measures against AI-related scams.
