TikTok has recently issued a notice stating that it will crack down severely on the use of AI technology to create false content aimed at deceiving the elderly into engaging. TikTok encourages creators to use AI technology to assist in their creations, but all content must adhere to platform regulations, strictly prohibiting the use of generative AI technology to disseminate content that violates scientific common sense, engages in deception, or spreads rumors.
The notice points out that some accounts inappropriately use AI technology to generate virtual images, such as young monks, soldiers, and AI women, employing specific scripts to induce the elderly into liking, following, commenting, and even profiting from traffic redirection. These actions violate platform rules, and TikTok has imposed severe penalties on the related accounts, including removing违规videos, revoking submission and profit privileges, and banning accounts.
TikTok has listed some typical违规behaviors, including but not limited to:
1. Generating a young monk image, using superstitious content to deceive the elderly into engaging.
2. Generating a soldier image, exploiting the elderly's longing for their children to deceive them into engaging.
3. Generating an AI female image, using emotional scripts to induce the elderly into engaging.
TikTok emphasizes that these contents seriously violate platform rules, and the platform will use technical means for long-term systematic identification and processing. Additionally, TikTok has issued the "TikTok Platform Regulations and Industry Proposals on AI-Generated Content," requiring publishers to clearly label AI-generated content, virtual characters to be registered on the platform, technology users to be verified with real names, and prohibiting the publication of违规content.
TikTok advocates for the establishment of a healthy and honest community atmosphere and promises to continuously combat the use of AI to deceive the elderly into engaging, protect the rights of the elderly, and create a safe and trustworthy online environment. For actions suspected of illegal and criminal activities, TikTok will also actively cooperate with relevant departments to combat them.
