China has reportedly made its first-ever arrest over fake news generated by ChatGPT.
A suspect identified only as “Hong” was detained by local authorities and arrested in the Gansu district of China after allegedly using ChatGPT to generate fake news stories.after an investigation into an unsubstantiated article relating to a train crash was discovered on April 18 by law enforcement agents.
Hong’s arrest for “using artificial intelligence technology to concoct false and untrue information” came after cybersecurity specialists discovered at least 20 accounts had simultaneously posted the fake news article to a popular blogging site hosted by Chinese tech conglomerate Baidu. China’s laws regarding the use of social media are considered among the strictest in the world. Police say Hong was arrested for running afoul of an ordinance against “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a catch-all law that specifically covers spreading fake news and rumors on the internet.
If charged, Hong faces up to five years in prison under the normal statute. However, if courts view the offense as egregious, they could be sentenced to as many as 10 years under the law’s extended provisions covering crimes considered especially severe. While the ChatGPT service is currently banned in China, its use can be obfuscated by virtual private networks .
