The Communications Ministry has instructed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to request Meta to remove manipulated videos that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to alter Bernama TV news on Facebook accounts. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching stated that she had sent the links to the fake news videos to the commission for further action. These manipulated videos show the faces of Bernama TV news anchors reading reports on dubious investment schemes.
This is not the first time that individuals have used AI technology to create such videos. A few months ago, parties used a video of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim altering his speech to supposedly encourage the public to join an investment scheme. Teo Nie Ching emphasized that while AI technology has many benefits, there are also risks when scammers use it for fraudulent purposes. Therefore, it is crucial for the public to report videos like this to Meta or MCMC.
Teo Nie Ching made these comments before appearing as a guest on “The Nation: Future of Media and Communications” programme by Bernama TV at Wisma Bernama on Thursday (Jan 18). She further emphasized the importance of vigilance against falsified media. She urged the public to file complaints with the appropriate authorities upon encountering deceptive content.
The issue of manipulated videos using AI technology is a serious concern, and government intervention is necessary to mitigate the risks associated with such content. It is evident that malicious individuals and scammers are exploiting the capabilities of AI technology to deceive the public. Therefore, proactive measures, such as reporting dubious videos to Meta or MCMC, are crucial in combating this issue.
The Deputy Communications Minister’s proactive stance on addressing this issue is commendable. Through her efforts, she is advocating for greater vigilance against misleading media content and urging the public to take decisive action against deceptive videos. Her timely intervention is an essential step in safeguarding against the spread of false information using advanced technology.
