MC Quyen Linh speaks up about his arrest

Since the afternoon of December 7, many fanpages have shared videos with sensational titles such as "Police urgently arrested MC Quyen Linh for selling poor quality goods", "Quyen Linh was officially handcuffed" ... In these clips, there is an image of a man with a face similar to MC Quyen Linh being controlled by the police.

However, when carefully analyzing the facial movements and details in the video, many social media users quickly realized that this was a product of deepfake technology - a technique that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create highly realistic fake content.

Although a portion of the audience pointed out the fake nature of the video, many still believed it was real and spread false information. This situation forced MC Quyen Linh to quickly respond.

During the livestream on the evening of December 8, the male artist said he received many messages of questions from friends, colleagues and audiences.

The male MC confirmed that the information about his arrest was completely unfounded. He had a business trip in Hanoi and was participating in work with the Vietnam Cinema Association, there was absolutely no such story as being spread on the internet.

MC Quyen Linh shared about the incident:

Quyen Linh emphasized that recently, many artists have become victims of deepfake technology. The images and voices of artists have been exploited by bad guys to create false content. He called on the audience to be alert and careful when receiving information on social networks.

MC Quyen Linh’s case is not an isolated one. In recent months, a series of Vietnamese artists have become victims of scams using AI technology.

Recently, singer - actress Nhat Kim Anh also had to speak up to correct after a series of articles appeared with the content " Nhat Kim Anh escaped from the investigation agency", "Female singer was prosecuted for fraud" ... This completely fabricated information caused the female artist and her family to face many troubles.

Artists such as Ho Ngoc Ha, Ngo Thanh Van, and My Tam have repeatedly warned about the situation of images and voices being copied by AI to advertise low-quality products, even fraudulent projects.

Previously, in August, actors Dai Nghia, Quoc Truong, and Ly Hai simultaneously "called for help" when they discovered that criminals used AI technology to combine their voices and mouth shapes into videos calling for financial investment and promoting fake real estate projects.
