China reported its first arrest in an AI-related probe after a man in China's Gansu province was detained for allegedly using ChatGPT to generate a fake news about a train crash.
According to a report by Reuters, the story, which claimed the crash killed nine construction workers in a city in China's northwestern Gansu, gained more than 15,000 clicks after being published on social media on April 25, Pingliang city's local police bureau reported.
China introduced new rules for deepfake on January 10 which bar service providers and users from using such technology to produce, release and fabricate untrue information. The rules are designed to curb the use of generative AI technology to alter online content, the report said.
