(Central News Agency reporter Chang Jung-hsiang, Tainan, 7th) In the case where Tainan female police officer Zheng Yong-xin was rear-ended by a scooter, fell, and was then run over by a tour bus and died, a video that seemingly shows the scooter rider only caring about vehicle damage is suspected of being altered by artificial intelligence (AI). The Tainan City Police Department stated today that it has secured the original video file and will not be affected by the online video.
The Taiwan Tainan District Prosecutors Office told the Central News Agency reporter that prosecutors and police will collect and understand relevant information and news, and continue with the investigation.
The online video, which alleges that the university student surnamed Dai, who caused the accident, only cared about vehicle damage, was altered by AI and blamed on Taiwanese factions, and that it is a typical cognitive warfare tactic during wartime.
The police department stated that if the parties involved do not file a complaint against those spreading the video, the police cannot open an investigation.
On April 28, Zheng Yong-xin was riding a scooter on Section 2, Anhe Road, Annan District, Tainan, when she encountered slowed traffic ahead and was rear-ended by a university student surnamed Dai, who allegedly failed to notice the road conditions ahead. This caused Zheng Yong-xin to shift left and collide with a tour bus, falling and then being run over, dying on the spot. The university student surnamed Dai and the tour bus driver surnamed Jiang were sent to prosecutors for negligent homicide. (Editor: Li Ming-tsung) 1150507
