There’s no denying that the advancement in artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword.
There are those who use it for breakthroughs in medicine, science or education. Then there are those who use it for crime.
Taiwanese CEO-slash-influencer Bambi Hsia is the founder of Taiwanese skincare brand HBD and has a self-proclaimed net worth of at least TW$100mil (S$4.2mil).
The 29-year-old is known for flaunting her wealth and her voluptuous figure on social media.
Recently, she found herself making headlines when a sex tape featuring a woman who looks like her was circulated online.
Bambi took to her Instagram Stories to say that her face has been edited onto a sex tape using AI technology.
“You guys don’t have to worry about me, everyone seems to be more anxious than I am,” she said, adding that it’s not the first time she had encountered something like that.
“I receive this kind of videos and photos all the time. [They] would edit the videos using AI and then extort me for money,” she claimed.
Bambi then asserted that her legal team has been collating evidence from various social media platforms and are already taking action against the perpetuators.
“As long as you’ve disseminated [such content] to others or have criminal responsibility [towards the incident], please do not try to challenge the law,” she warned.
Bambi also shared that many netizens have been helping her gather evidence of those circulating the video, and that she will be handing them over to her lawyer.
“The saddest part is, I see so many girls facing the same problem but are helpless about it so they just try their best to hang in there. [By engaging in such behaviour] You might kill a young girl and become the biggest perpetuator,” she said.
