“Possession and viewing are also subject to punishment.”
“The existence of false sexual videos using artificial intelligence (AI) is a crime. Not only is possessing or distributing it a crime, but watching it is also a crime.”
On the occasion of “Cyber Crime Prevention Day” (April 2nd), the police will prevent non-face-to-face crimes such as cyber sexual violence such as deepfake (fake video), cyber gambling, and public intimidation.
The National Police Agency announced on the 1st that it will post preventive promotional videos and rules on online platforms such as Naver and game sites such as Netmarble, Neowiz, and NHN to raise awareness of cybercrime. This video was produced in the form of shorts for teenagers and 20s who are familiar with the digital environment. Provincial and provincial police agencies across the country also promote their own promotion using card news.
In addition, the police collaborate with the cyber honorary police ‘Nuri Cops’ to intensively check illegal and harmful information on the Internet. The police have been operating Nuricops since 2007 to eradicate cybercrime by revitalizing private participation. Nuri Cops is a combination of Internet users’ “Nuri” and police’s “Cops.” As of this year, 576 Nuri Cops are active nationwide.
The police will also temporarily unveil the “Deep Fake Modulation Prevention Technology” currently being developed by private companies and universities through the National Police Agency’s cybercrime reporting system until the 30th. The technology works by covering a photo with a shield, such as a fine watermark signal that is invisible to the human eye, causing the result to be ruined when artificial intelligence (AI) tries to turn the photo into a composite. However, this technology is still in its early stages of development, so using the latest Generative AI model has limitations in that it cannot completely block the generation of pornography.
In addition to preventive activities, the police are also conducting intensive crackdown on crimes related to cyber sexual violence, cyber gambling, and false information. The crackdown on cyber sexual violence crimes will focus on the distribution of sexual exploitation, operation, and purchase of distribution networks with the aim of “blocking supply and demand at the same time,” while the crackdown on cyber gambling will focus on tracking overseas base operators and recovering criminal profits. The crackdown on crimes against false information began in January this year and is focusing on systematic public opinion manipulation.
A police official said, “Cybercrime is becoming intelligent and diversified, and new forms of crime are also emerging,” adding, “It should be recognized that possession and distribution of illegal sexual videos such as deepfakes, as well as re-dispersion of received videos, is a crime.”
