AI Summary (NQ-processed)
A young farmer in Yunlin, Lin Huang-chih, has had his image and voice deepfaked to promote and sell counterfeit garlic products online, with the origin falsely claimed as ''Shandong, China.'' He held a press conference with local politicians, urging the public to be wary of one-page websites and AI-generated videos, and to only purchase clearly labeled ''Made in Taiwan'' products to avoid scams and potential food safety issues. Eight victims have been identified so far, and politicians highlighted that this is part of a broader issue of deepfake scams targeting Taiwanese agricultural products.
