Imagine being able to see a person speaking, moving, and even performing, all from just a single photo within seconds. This is the allure of OmniHuman-1, recently launched by ByteDance. This artificial intelligence model, which has gone viral online, can create highly realistic videos that bring static images to life. Combined with audio clips, it achieves lip synchronization, full-body movements, and rich facial expressions. Unlike traditional deepfake technologies, OmniHuman-1 is not limited to facial replacement; it can animate the entire person.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, deepfake content has gradually attracted widespread social attention. To address this emerging issue, California has introduced a series of new laws and regulations at the beginning of the new year, aimed at strengthening the regulation of deepfake content generated by artificial intelligence. These laws will affect social media platforms, content creators, and related industries, marking the entry of AI technology application regulation into a new phase. Note on image source: Image generated by AI, image licensed by Midjourney. One of the important laws expands the scope.

Recently, at the 12th Digital Finance and Technology Finance Conference, part of the Zhongguancun Forum series of events, Ant Group's Deepfake detection solution was selected as a “Financial Technology Innovation and Application Case.” Leveraging its Tiantong Laboratory, Ant Group has constructed the first large-scale, high-quality, multi-modal Deepfake dataset in the industry, synthesizing over a million multimedia contents that fully simulate Deepfake attack samples in real-world financial risk control environments, becoming a benchmark for evaluating existing Deepfake detection in the financial sector.

Meta has recently launched a new neural watermark system called VideoSeal, designed to help identify AI-generated videos, even if the videos have been edited, it can effectively trace their origin. This watermark is invisible to viewers but can be verified through detection methods to confirm the video's authenticity. Meta has released the entire system as open source software under the MIT license, including the VideoSeal watermark model, research papers, and training and inference code.

Recently, a video has sparked widespread attention online, featuring an account impersonating Zhang Wenhong in a live stream selling a type of protein bar. Many netizens began to question, 'Is Zhang Wenhong really selling products?' Even more concerning is that some elderly viewers believed the video to be genuine, with some placing orders and sharing the information in social groups. After investigation, it was confirmed that the Zhang Wenhong in the video was not a real person, but a deepfake generated through AI technology. Zhang Wenhong has responded, indicating that there is more than one such fraudulent account.

Today, Deepfake is ubiquitous. With the rise of generative AI, the amount of false content online has exploded. According to identity verification platform Sumsub, the number of Deepfakes globally has increased fourfold from 2023 to 2024. By 2024, Deepfake will account for 7% of all fraud incidents, involving everything from identity impersonation and account theft to complex social engineering attacks. To effectively combat Deepfake, Meta...

With the proliferation of deepfake technology, the amount of false content online has surged. According to data from the ID verification platform Sumsub, the number of deepfakes quadrupled from 2023 to 2024, accounting for 7% of all fraud in 2024. This includes various forms such as identity impersonation, account takeover, and complex social engineering attacks. To tackle this challenge, Meta has recently launched a new watermark tool - Meta Video Seal, aimed at helping with AI-generated content.

Among these bills, SB1047 stands out as it requires AI developers to implement safety measures to mitigate risks.

Recently, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed eight laws addressing challenges in the field of artificial intelligence. These laws aim to tackle issues related to the existential risks posed by AI systems, the deepfake production of nude images by AI generators, and the creation of AI clones of deceased actors by Hollywood studios. Among these, SB926 criminalizes the creation and distribution of deepfake nude images and defines using AI-generated nude images resembling others for blackmail as illegal. The SB981 bill requires social media platforms to establish user reporting channels for relevant content.

During a recent signing ceremony, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a series of new laws aimed at the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, which are relatively strict on a national level.
