According to 1M AI News, today is World Consumer Rights Day. Domestic Chinese media have extensively covered multiple scams involving the use of AI technology.

Recently, many consumers have reported to China National Radio that there are numerous companies advertising online with slogans such as "AI Automated Sales" and "Earn Thousands Easily Every Month" on major platforms. These companies redirect netizens to private live broadcasts and WeChat groups, where they persuade everyone to purchase courses, service packages, etc., through exaggerated marketing, ultimately resorting to exploitation and even fraud. An investigation by reporters revealed that with the promotion and popularization of various AI tools, short video platforms have become flooded with content supposedly teaching AI video editing, e-commerce, and live streaming sales. In reality, these are sham companies that deceive students into paying joining fees and service charges with inflated courses and false profits, using the guise of AI to swindle money. Many deceived consumers find themselves helpless in seeking justice.

In addition, the Southern Finance fully integrated media group IN Investigation Studio, along with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Financial News Studio, formed a joint reporting team to investigate financial crimes such as grey-market finance, high-rated loans, aggressive debt collection, and illegal securities activities. The investigation uncovered that fraud syndicates are exploiting the A-share investment craze, utilizing AI technology to produce fake "Stock Recommendations by Influential Figures (大 V)" videos to carry out their scams.
