Kim Se-ui, head of the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, who is accused of spreading false information, arrives at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho District, southern Seoul, on May 26 to attend a pretrial detention hearing. [YONHAP] Kim Se-ui, head of the YouTube channel HoverLab, was detained on Tuesday on charges of spreading false claims that actor Kim Soo-hyun pressured the late actor Kim Sae-ron over debt repayment, allegedly contributing to her death in February of last year. The Seoul Central District Court approved the arrest warrant. Before appearing in court, the YouTube channel runner insisted that the allegations were “filled with obvious falsehoods.” The court nevertheless appears to have determined that a substantial portion of the accusations had merit. According to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, which has investigated the case for more than a year, Kim Se-ui spread claims through YouTube and other platforms that Kim Soo-hyun had dated the actor while she was a minor and that financial pressure from the actor’s side contributed to her death. Investigators also allege that AI technology was used to manipulate the actress’s voice and fabricate KakaoTalk conversations. The possibility that AI tools were used to create material difficult for the public to distinguish from reality is especially alarming. If the allegations outlined by police are accurate, the case represents not merely malicious misinformation but what many would describe as “character assassination.” As demonstrated by the damage allegedly inflicted on Kim Soo-hyun, sensational accusations generate explosive public attention and enormous online traffic. YouTube channels can reap substantial advertising revenue in the process. Yet for those targeted, the consequences can be devastating, undermining their mental well-being, public reputation and professional livelihood. Related Article Prosecutors indict Hoverlab operator Kim Se-ui on charges to stalking, threatening Tzuyang Kim Soo-hyun files additional charges against Kim Sae-ron's family, Hoverlab YouTuber Cops intervene in Hoverlab livestream about Kim Soo-hyun Kim Soo-hyun adds to suits against Hoverlab, Kim Sae-ron's family Such conduct is hardly new. So-called cyber wreckers, a Korean term describing online channels that profit from scandal-driven content, have repeatedly manipulated stories about celebrities or spread unverified rumors to maximize views and revenue. In some cases, operators have secretly filmed celebrities’ private lives and attempted extortion. The practice of repackaging tragedy and gossip into monetized online entertainment has long crossed ethical boundaries. Despite YouTube’s growing influence, often rivaling that of traditional media, mechanisms for verifying truth remain dangerously weak. The platform’s recommendation algorithms reward provocative content because outrage and controversy drive clicks and advertising income. At the same time, regulatory oversight remains insufficient. The case also highlights broader concerns surrounding generative AI technology. Deepfake audio, fabricated messages and manipulated video can now spread rapidly before facts are verified. Once false information circulates online, the reputational damage is often irreversible even if later disproven. That is why stronger safeguards against the harms associated with YouTube and AI-driven misinformation are urgently needed. Korea has repeatedly debated measures to address the social damage caused by online rumor channels, but meaningful regulation has lagged behind the speed of technological change. AI 악용한 유튜브의 ‘인격 살인’, 방지책 시급하다 유튜브 채널 가로세로연구소 김세의 대표가 2025년 2월 숨진 여배우 김모씨 사망 원인이 배우 김수현의 채무 압박 때문이라는 허위 내용을 유포한 혐의 등으로 26일 구속됐다. 서울중앙지법은 “증거를 인멸하고 도망할 염려가 있다”며 구속영장을 발부했다. 앞서 김 대표는 법원에 출석하면서 “(영장은) 명백한 허위 사실의 범벅”이라고 주장했다. 1년 이상 이 사건을 수사해 온 서울 강남경찰서에 따르면 김 대표는 김수현씨가 미성년자였던 여배우와 교제했다고 폭로하고, 여배우가 사망한 원인이 김수현 측의 채무 변제 압박이라고 유튜브 등을 통해 유포한 혐의를 받고 있다. 특히 인공지능(AI) 기술 등을 이용해 여배우의 음성을 조작하고, 실제론 두 사람이 주고받지 않았던 카카오톡 대화를 사실인 것처럼 편집해 명예를 훼손한 혐의도 받고 있다. 진위 구분이 쉽지 않아 대중에게 혼란과 사실 오인을 초래하는 AI까지 동원했다니 충격적이다. 경찰이 제시한 혐의대로라면 악의적인 사실 왜곡이자 심지어 ‘인격 살인’이라 비난받을 수 있는 범죄다. 이번 사례에서 보듯 자극적 의혹이 폭로되면 대중은 폭발적 관심을 보이니 유튜브는 큰 수익을 챙길 수 있다. 하지만 그 과정에서 당사자는 정신적·사회적·직업적 생존 기반이 무너지는 타격을 받는다. 유튜브 채널들의 이런 불법적 행태는 처음이 아니다. 이른바 ‘사이버 레커’로 불리는 채널들은 돈벌이에 직결되는 조회수를 노리고 유명 연예인의 사생활을 조작하거나 확인되지 않은 루머를 퍼뜨려 왔다. 유명인의 사생활을 불법 촬영한 뒤 금품 갈취를 시도하는 사례도 흔하다. 타인의 비극이나 가십을 짜깁기해서 유튜브로 유포함으로써 정신적 고통을 가하는 사례는 이미 한참 선을 넘었다. 유튜브가 유사 언론처럼 영향력이 막강해졌는데도 진실 검증 장치는 취약하다. 수익 창출을 위해 알고리즘으로 자극적인 콘텐트를 쏟아내지만, 규제 사각지대에 방치돼 있다. 그동안 수차례 지적해 온 유튜브의 폐해 방지 대책이 시급하고 절실한 이유다.

Corporate leaders are starting to question whether soaring AI spending is delivering meaningful returns. Why it matters: Companies that rushed to embrace AI are now confronting ballooning IT costs, uncertain productivity gains and growing employee skepticism. Driving the news: Microsoft canceled most of its Claude Code licenses, in part over costs, according to The Verge , and Uber's COO said AI costs are getting "harder to justify." An AI consultant tells Axios one of their clients recently spent half a billion dollars in a single month after failing to put usage limits on Claude licenses for employees. Companies are citing AI's ability to automate jobs as a cause for layoffs , though Anuj Kapur, CEO of CloudBees, told Axios that workforce cuts may simply be "the only lever they can pull" to offset their AI bills. Consumer sentiment around AI is also nosediving , and employees are rebelling against the use of the technology at work. What they're saying: The enterprise is undergoing a "healthy swing" away from AI overuse — or "tokenmaxxing," the push to burn as many AI tokens as possible — Ali Ansari, CEO of model training firm Micro1, told Axios. Ansari hopes this correction will push companies toward more efficient AI use. While the market views these tools as working equally well across the enterprise, Ansari says "the reality of AI right now is that it only works for coding." That disconnect can drive up IT bills without leading to high return on investment in agents, he said. Friction point: Corporate AI adoption is running into four unique problems. Use cases: "Most people default to automating tasks they dislike rather than tasks most valuable to the company," Sophia Velastegui, CEO of Velastegui Ventures and former chief AI officer at Microsoft, told Axios. Instead, they should focus on using AI to drive revenue. Costs: One CTO told Axios that employees were using AI models to check the weather. That gets expensive fast: Enterprise AI plans are not truly "all you can eat," and even simple chatbot queries can carry heavy token costs. Humans: We are the bottleneck to more efficient adoption, as we're still catching up on AI. Leadership isn't always helping: Throwing AI licenses at the wall and seeing what sticks (or what Velastegui calls the "thousand flowers bloom" approach) isn't leading to tangible returns, she said. Data : When enterprises are hesitant to give AI agents unfettered access to proprietary data, those agents become less effective, Josh Pantony, CEO of Boosted.ai, which focuses on AI tools for finance, told Axios. What we're watching: Whether companies get more disciplined about AI use. Or overcorrect and clamp down.

On the latest episode of The Verge 's Decoder podcast , Rivian's software chief Wassym Bensaid explained why the EV maker still refuses to offer Apple CarPlay. In short, Bensaid said Rivian does not want CarPlay to fully take over the software experience. "The challenge with screen mirroring solutions is that they take over every single pixel in the car," he said. Instead, Rivian prefers to offer its own interface with "end-to-end integration." Bensaid added that "deep AI integration into the car" will eventually make the debate over offering CarPlay in vehicles "completely obsolete." He believes that Rivian owners will be able to access the core functionality of many apps through an AI agent, rather than needing to rely on CarPlay or Android Auto. "I really believe that the way you interact with apps which are mono-threaded, single buttons, single icons, a lot of that will be now completely reshaped into a world where it will become an agentic integration that presents itself into a wholesome user experience to the user," Bensaid explained. However, he admitted that an AI agent becoming an "alternative solution" to CarPlay apps will take time to materialize. Already, Rivian owners are increasingly less interested in CarPlay, according to Bensaid. He said that Rivian's internal statistics showed that more than 70% of customers wanted CarPlay when their vehicles first launched around five years ago, but he said a recent survey showed that figure is apparently less than 25% now. "With the level of features that we have shipped to customers, with the level of end-to-end integration, with the level of convenience that we are bringing, CarPlay is, or Android Auto to that extent, is no longer the topic of discussion," he said.
