Man charged over AI-generated image of crocodile that led to search operations at Pandan Reservoir
The man allegedly deleted the AI-generated images of the crocodile and the log history on an AI app from his mobile phone.
A 30-year-old man from Myanmar, Ye Lin, was charged on Tuesday (Sep 29) in Singapore following allegations that he created and circulated an AI-generated image of a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir. The image prompted authorities to launch search operations and suspend water activities at the reservoir. Ye Lin allegedly deleted the images and log history from his mobile phone, leading to charges of communicating a false message and obstructing the course of justice.
He plans to plead guilty without legal representation. The Singapore River Association and Singapore Canoe Federation also suspended water activities in the reservoir.
