IT之家 9 月 30 日消息，据新加坡本地媒体亚洲电视台昨天报道，一新加坡男子因涉嫌制作、传播一张鳄鱼侵袭水库的图片被警方起诉。他最高面临着 10 年监禁和 1 万新加坡元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 52,585 元人民币）罚款。
据报道，该男子名为 Ye Lin。他在当地时间 8 月 20 日下午 3 点左右，使用谷歌 Gemini 应用程序生成一张鳄鱼浮现在水库的图片，随后将 AI 生成的照片发送给同事 Min Min Oo。
该图片很快在互联网广泛传播。新加坡国家水务机构 PUB 随即接到报案，称有人在 Pandan 水库发现鳄鱼。PUB 后续联系国家公园局在水库内搜寻鳄鱼，并要求民众不要在水库附近开展任何水上活动。
当地时间 8 月 21 日，PUB 发现这张图片并不真实，因而挑选向警方报案。同日，Ye Lin 打开了自己的手机，并删除了 Gemini 应用程序的鳄鱼图片和操作记录。
Ye Lin 被当局指控传播虚假信息，以及事后故意删除照片，妨碍司法公正。新加坡警方对此表示，他们对任何传播虚假信息的人士采取零容忍态度。
Ye Lin 将于 11 月 10 日再次出庭。如果上述两项罪名成立，他最高可被判处 10 年监禁和罚款 1 万新加坡元（现汇率约合 52,585 元人民币）。

IT之家 news, September 30: According to a report yesterday by Singapore local media Asia Television, a Singaporean man has been prosecuted by the police for allegedly creating and spreading an image of a crocodile invading a reservoir. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of 10,000 Singapore dollars (IT之家 note: approximately RMB 52,585 at current exchange rates).
According to the report, the man is named Ye Lin. At around 3 p.m. local time on August 20, he used Google's Gemini app to generate an image of a crocodile surfacing in a reservoir, and then sent the AI-generated photo to his colleague Min Min Oo.
The image quickly spread widely on the internet. Singapore's national water agency PUB immediately received reports that someone had spotted a crocodile in Pandan Reservoir. PUB subsequently contacted the National Parks Board to search for the crocodile in the reservoir and asked the public not to engage in any water activities near the reservoir.
On August 21 local time, PUB discovered that the image was not real and therefore chose to report the matter to the police. The same day, Ye Lin opened his phone and deleted the crocodile image and operation history from the Gemini app.
Ye Lin has been charged by the authorities with spreading false information, as well as intentionally deleting the photos afterwards to obstruct justice. Singapore police have stated that they take a zero-tolerance attitude toward anyone who spreads false information.
Ye Lin will appear in court again on November 10. If both of the above charges are established, he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of 10,000 Singapore dollars (approximately RMB 52,585 at current exchange rates).
