The cover-up for the good intentions of technology has been torn away by the "AI rumor-mongering assembly line"

Recently, a survey by Japan's Asahi Shimbun has revealed a shocking scene: In Japan, using AI to mass-produce anti-China videos has unexpectedly become a "traffic code" for some bloggers to pursue profits. The report revealed that from accepting platform tasks, following detailed operation manuals to input instructions，to generating highly inflammatory smear videos，a complete "AI rumor production line" is openly operating. Even a former government official claimed that he earned as much as 600，000 yen (approximately 26，000 RMB) per month by making such videos. When AI technology is so efficiently used to create bias and division，this is not just a national scandal，but a loud slap in the face of the global ethical bottom line of technology.

Behind this incident lies multiple incentives of technology abuse，capital profit-seeking，and distorted social soil. From the technical perspective，today's generative AI can compress the cost of spreading rumors to the limit. Just like the predicament faced by many regions in the world，advanced deep forgery and GEO technology have made the mass production of false information extremely easy，and the extreme imbalance in offensive and defensive costs makes the online environment defenseless. At the economic level，platform algorithms reward high-interaction content，and extreme inflammatory emotions are the surest way to harvest traffic. What is even more ironic is that behind this chain that breeds hatred，there is often implicit political approval or even capital promotion，treating "blackening a specific country" as a shortcut to gain economic benefits and right-leaning public opinion support.

This malicious abuse of AI is causing risks that are spreading uncontrollably. From a social risk perspective，this is equivalent to a systematic "poisoning" of international civil trust. Thousands of AI fake videos will seriously distort the objective cognition of ordinary people about a specific country's group，reinforce information cocoons，and ultimately hinder normal cultural and economic exchanges worldwide. From a security impact perspective，when this model is replicated in political elections or more significant international relations events，false narratives can become a new weapon for geopolitical confrontation，and even disrupt the strategic stability of the real world. The World Economic Forum's previous report has already warned that errors and false information have become an important catalyst for global systemic risks，capable of exacerbating social polarization and trust crises.

Facing this cognitive war caused by technological evil，relying solely on the deletion-based governance of individual platforms is like quenching the fire while leaving the pot boiling. Although some countries are accelerating the legislative process to try to set a red line for AI，there is a lack of unified and powerful enforcement standards and judicial penalties worldwide，objectively providing a gray area and profit space for the perpetrators. Therefore，merely calling for "technology is innocent" has become rather powerless. Nations must abandon slogan-like ethical discussions and establish a cross-border collaborative traceability mechanism to make platforms，order-takers，and behind-the-scenes instigators pay a heavy price far beyond their illegal gains.

Overall，the exposure of the "AI rumor production line" in Japan has completely shattered the illusion of "technology has no borders and is neutral". It ruthlessly proves to the world that once technology lacks moral barriers and legal swords，even the most advanced artificial intelligence will become the most vile tool for inciting hatred and harvesting traffic. Making technology good is not just a verbal self-proclamation，but a long-term battle involving global governance. On the algorithm and bias track，human civilization has no room for retreat.
