Strengthening Deepfake ⁣Crime Prevention Education

The Viewer Media Foundation is taking proactive measures to ⁣combat deepfake crimes, a growing concern in recent times. As part of its efforts, the foundation has announced plans to make deepfake crime ⁤prevention education a mandatory component of its⁤ educational programs in 100 elementary, middle, and ‌high schools ‌across the nation.

The comprehensive course, spanning approximately two hours, will cover essential topics such as understanding deepfake‌ technology, recognizing​ types of deepfake⁣ crimes, and responding ​to ‍them effectively. Additionally, the course⁢ will​ delve into the ethical use of artificial​ intelligence, empowering students with the knowledge‍ and skills necessary to navigate‍ this complex issue.

Choi Cheol-ho, chairman of‍ the Viewers’‌ Media Foundation, emphasized the urgency of‍ addressing deepfake crimes, which are⁢ becoming increasingly sophisticated. ⁤He stressed the importance of citizens developing their ‌media literacy skills and becoming familiar with the⁣ responsible use of artificial intelligence technology.

To further support this initiative, the‍ Viewer Media Foundation plans to create ⁢online educational ⁢content highlighting the reality and challenges of ‍deepfake ​crimes.‍ The foundation will ⁤also provide counseling services⁣ to victims of deepfake crimes through its viewer rights protection platform, Mediin.
