Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to significant negative issues, including the misuse of deepfake technology, which poses serious threats to human rights and privacy [1][3][6]. Group 1: AI Misuse and Human Rights Violations - Deepfake technology has been widely abused, leading to harassment and extortion, particularly affecting teachers and women, with a significant percentage of victims being minors [3][6]. - In South Korea, the prevalence of deepfake videos has prompted the government to enact strict laws against child pornography, categorizing the distribution and possession of such content as criminal acts [3][6]. - Experts at the 2025 China-Europe Human Rights Seminar emphasized that existing legislation against deepfakes is insufficient, as the technology's accessibility has lowered the barriers for misuse [7][10]. Group 2: International Cooperation and Legislative Challenges - The challenge of combating deepfake technology is exacerbated by the fact that many of these videos are hosted on foreign servers, complicating evidence collection and enforcement [7][10]. - The need for international cooperation is highlighted, as many perpetrators exploit anonymity on foreign platforms, making it difficult for law enforcement to take action [7][10]. - The discussion at the seminar underscored the importance of collaborative efforts to address the human rights violations stemming from AI misuse [7][10]. Group 3: Broader Implications of AI Technology - The misuse of AI extends beyond deepfakes, with concerns about privacy violations due to unauthorized data collection and the impact of algorithms on social behavior, particularly among minors [8][10]. - Experts pointed out that AI-driven applications can lead to addiction and mental health issues among young people, raising alarms about the societal implications of unchecked AI technology [8][10]. - The monopolization of AI technology by large Western corporations poses risks to individual rights and national sovereignty, as well as potential manipulation of public perception and electoral processes [10][12]. Group 4: China's Role in AI Governance - China is actively addressing the challenges posed by AI misuse and has been recognized for its efforts in establishing regulations to ensure the ethical use of AI technology [12][13]. - Chinese experts presented case studies demonstrating how AI can benefit society, particularly in healthcare, education, and disaster response, while also emphasizing the importance of regulatory frameworks [13][15]. - The seminar concluded with a consensus on the need for cooperation between China and Europe in AI governance, highlighting the complementary nature of their approaches [21][23].
