How to crack down on the use of AI face changing technology to commit crimes? On August 10, Li Tong, Deputy Director of the Cyber Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, introduced to reporters that the public security organs had carried out relevant security assessments, timely discovered the potential risks of the face recognition verification system, and organized a special battle to crack down on the source of the crime of leaking image information such as ID card photos. At present, 515 suspect had been arrested for "AI Face Changing".
Li Tong introduced that with the widespread application of facial recognition technology and the progress of artificial intelligence technology, crimes related to facial recognition verification have emerged. The materials used by criminals to implement "AI face changing" are mainly photos, especially ID card photos. At the same time, they break through the face recognition verification system by combining the name and ID number of the person.
In order to prevent and combat this new type of crime, the public security organ, together with the State Key Laboratory and other units, carried out the security assessment of face recognition and live detection technology, covering key APPs such as instant messaging, webcasting, online social networking, e-commerce platforms, financial payments, etc., which have a large number of users in China and prominent potential problems, to timely identify the potential risks in the face recognition verification system, and notify the operators of upgrading security protection measures and face recognition algorithms.

At the same time, relying on the "Net" special action, the public security organ organized a special battle to crack down on the source of the crime of revealing image information such as ID card photos, cracked 79 cases of "AI Face Changing", and captured 515 suspect, effectively curbing the momentum of such crimes.
In addition, Li Tong also answered questions about how the public security organ supervises the Internet platform where personal information needs to be uploaded. He said that in recent years, various Internet application platforms have emerged one after another, and the number of relevant APPs, official account, and small programs has increased in a blowout manner. The security protection of citizens' personal information has also become the focus of public security organs. In accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations such as the Network Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, and the Data Security Law, the national public security organs have comprehensively strengthened the network and data security supervision of key Internet platforms, and further compacted the data security responsibilities of network operators. On the one hand, the public security organs strictly regulate law enforcement, perform their supervision and management responsibilities according to law, and impose administrative penalties on Internet platform operators who fail to perform their network security protection obligations and implement data security protection measures, and urge them to rectify in place. On the other hand, the public security organ, by carrying out law enforcement supervision and inspection on relevant Internet platforms, detects the security status of important information systems and platforms, prevents and defuses the risk of network and data security threats, and jointly carries out a series of regulatory measures such as interview, notification, punishment, and offline with the departments of Cyber Information Technology and Industrial Information Technology to form a deterrent.
