While technology gives us many benefits, it can also get us into trouble if we misuse it.
A similar thing happened in China where a citizen was arrested for misusing the artificial intelligence (AI) tool to Chat GPT.
According to foreign media reports, Chinese police have detained a man for using artificial intelligence technology to create fake news about a train accident and spread it online.
This is the first arrest in China for misuse of Chat GPT.

Police in China’s northwestern Gansu province said in a statement on Sunday that a suspect named Hong was arrested on charges of using artificial intelligence technology to spread false information.
According to reports, the matter came to light when the cyber division of the county police bureau came across fake news claiming that nine people had died in a local train accident on April 25.
Cybersecurity officers saw the news being posted on Chinese social media by more than 20 accounts simultaneously, with more than 15,000 clicks on the fake news and that’s why the authorities came to the attention of the fake news.
