The Taiwan police arrested three suspects who have been producing, circulating, and selling deepfake pornography videos. Among the three, the YouTuber Xiaoyu is believed to be the main suspect and in charge of editing videos with deepfake technology.
Xiaoyu, real name Yu-chen Chu, is a famous 26-year-old YouTuber who has caused some controversy in the past. In this case, he swapped celebrities’ faces onto existing adult videos without their consent and made it hard to distinguish the fake from reality. There are estimated to be more than 100 victims, mostly being female politicians, artists, and influencers.
He and his two accomplices recruited members to join a Telegram group where they pay an entrance fee from NT$400 to NT$1,900 to watch deepfake pornographic videos. They earned approximately NT$11 million over the past year.
日前,警方逮捕了三名涉嫌製作、流通深偽不雅影片、並從中牟利的嫌犯。其中,YouTuber小玉(Xiaoyu)據信為犯罪主嫌,並且由他負責以深偽技術(deepfake technology)來編輯、竄改影片內容。
本名為朱玉宸的26歲YouTuber網紅小玉,過去也曾經引發過一些爭議。在這次的事件中,他將原本成人影片中的演員臉孔、在未經同意下置換成名人的臉,使得影片看起來真假難辨,容易誤以為影片拍攝的對象就是知名人士本人。估計有超過一百名左右的受害者,其中包括的大部分是女性的政治人物、藝人還有在社群中具有影響力的網路名人等。
小玉和他的兩名同夥,以400元到1900元台幣不等的入場費,招募使用者加入Telegram通訊軟體的群組,並且觀看這些偽造的不雅影片。粗估在過去一年來,他們的不法所得超過新台幣一千一百萬。
deepfake深偽技術,指得是以AI人工智慧、加上機器學習(machine learning)來合成fake(虛假)資訊的手法,目前大部分用來「換掉」圖片、影像中的臉孔,可用swap、superimpose、transplant等動詞來表示「置換」這個舉動。
例句:
Using deepfake technology to superimpose someone’s face onto an actress’s body in porn movies violates Taiwan’s law.
以深偽技術,將某人的臉置換到成人電影中女優的身體上,是會觸犯台灣法律的行為。
