Recently, the well-known Thai YouTuber "Big Brother Finland Village Chief" encountered a troubling issue when he discovered that artificial intelligence-generated fake videos and audios were being used in his name to promote illegal online gambling websites. This not only affected his reputation but also deceived many of his fans.
Incident Cause: AI technology misusing image to promote gambling
Big Brother Finland Village Chief reported to the Thai cybercrime investigation department, stating that fake videos using AI technology to highly replicate his image and voice were being made. He receives over ten consultation calls daily, and many victims have participated in gambling believing the video content, ending up with huge losses. Importantly, these fake videos have garnered over 10 million views, some even surpassing his official channel in popularity.
Spread Impact: Fake videos proliferating on social platforms
The misused videos are mainly spread through platforms like TikTok and Facebook, with the perpetrators using up to 10 social media pages to post advertisements, attracting the public to the gambling platforms. This cunning operation is suspected of being illegal, especially as it easily misleads the elderly and youth.
Victim Response and Police Action
Big Brother clearly stated that he has never promoted any gambling activities and urged everyone to be more cautious when watching videos to avoid being deceived. The Thai cybercrime investigation department has accepted the case and is currently tracking the websites, advertisements, and IP sources, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining safety and encouraging the public to report similar activities promptly.
