AI face-swapping fraud is a criminal act in which a person uses AI technology to imitate, synthesize and depict others’ voices, faces, videos and other information for deception, extortion, blackmail and other illicit actions.
Li Tong, deputy head of the bureau of network security protection of the Ministry of Public Security, stressed that crimes related to facial recognition and verification are linked to the misuse of technologies such as facial recognition and artificial intelligence.
Criminals primarily exploit materials such as photos, especially identity card photos, and combine people’s names and ID numbers to deceive facial recognition verification systems, Li said.
Manipulating and falsifying citizens' personal information is a very common criminal act. Suspects collect different data such as personal identities and shopping details to create fresh data sources, or employ AI technology to generate dynamic facial recognition information from photographs, said Huang Xiaosu, a technology director of the bureau.

According to the ministry, police have also solved 79 cases related to AI face alterations and have arrested 515 suspects since 2020.
“AI诈骗”有哪些常见手法呢?
➀AI合成声音诈骗。骗子会通过拨打骚扰电话等方式,录音提取诈骗对象及其重要关系人的声音特征,利用AI技术进行语音合成,使诈骗对象放松警惕,进而用伪造的声音实施诈骗。
Scammers often employ tactics such as making harassing phone calls to extract the voice characteristics and important contacts of their targets. Then they use AI technology to synthesize voices to mimic the targets and call their contacts, lulling victims into a false sense of security before initiating the deception.
Manipulating faces through AI is particularly effective in gaining trust in a fraud attempt. Scammers can using AI-based face swapping disguise themselves as the relatives, friends, and significant acquaintances of their targets. They also generate some synthetic videos or photos that convincingly distort reality, thereby distracting victims and enabling the fraud.
➂AI筛选受骗人群。骗子不是漫无目的地广撒网,而是别有用心地锁定诈骗对象。他们会分析诈骗对象在网络平台发布的个人信息,根据所要实施的骗术利用AI技术对人群进行筛选,从而选出目标对象,制定诈骗计策。
Scammers often choose their targets carefully. They can analyze personal information posted by potential victims on online platforms and, leveraging AI technology, screen potential victims to identify ideal targets and tailor their fraud schemes accordingly.
