AI黄仁勋演讲骗倒10万老外，冒充GTC直播，干出8倍观看量
Deepfake technology has penetrated every corner.
According to Zhidongxi on October 30th, yesterday, Dylan Martin, a senior editor at CRN, exposed on the overseas social media platform X that a live stream of NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang's speech on YouTube, which was created using deepfake technology, once reached 96,000 views, more than 7 times the 12,000 views of the real live stream.
Moreover, when searching for the "Nvidia gtc dc" speech on the YouTube platform, this fake live stream hosted by the "NVIDIA Live" channel actually ranked first in the search results.
About 40 minutes after Martin first posted to expose the live stream, the illegal live stream was taken down by YouTube, but Martin published the Otter.ai transcribed text of the "deepfake Jensen Huang" speech content.
This AI virtual human claimed that before entering the keynote speech, there was an "exciting surprise that couldn't wait": a cryptocurrency popularization event "directly related to NVIDIA's mission of accelerating human progress."
The forged content also involved NVIDIA's hardware handling complex cryptocurrency mining operations, optimizing Ethereum smart contracts, and promoting Solana transactions. The fake Jensen Huang then asked the audience to scan the QR code on the screen, luring them to transfer money to the so - called "NVIDIA - launched cryptocurrency distribution plan."
Using generative AI to forge public figures has become extremely simple, and the results are often terrifyingly realistic. Martin said that although the tone of the fake Jensen Huang was unnatural, it was not hard to imagine that some viewers would believe the claim that NVIDIA had launched a cryptocurrency distribution platform.
Conclusion: Deepfake technology will surely be restricted
This is not the first time someone has used YouTube live streams of deep - faked well - known figures to promote cryptocurrency scams.
In 2025, there was an AI - generated voice of Elon Musk on the Internet, instructing viewers to deposit Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Dogecoin on a certain website to get double the rebate. In 2023, when the Linus Tech Tips channel was hacked, the fake Musk also appeared on multiple related channels.
In addition to promoting cryptocurrencies, "celebrity face - swapping" pornographic videos are also a major area affected by deepfakes. Previously, the media reported that well - known Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, who plays "Black Widow," and well - known American singer Taylor Swift and other female stars had their faces swapped onto pornographic videos and suffered greatly.
The repeated occurrence of such events highlights the urgency of regulating deepfake technology. All sectors of the world urgently need to establish perfect laws and regulations to clarify the boundaries of technology use.
