深度伪造技术对老年人权益的冲击与适老化应对

The Impact of Deepfake Technology on the Rights and Interests of the Elderly and Age-Appropriate Responses

摘要: 在数字技术与人口老龄化交汇的当下，深度伪造技术正对老年群体形成一种隐蔽而持续的风险压力。高度逼真的合成音视频不断动摇日常生活中“眼见为实”的判断基础，使老年人在亲情沟通、信息识别和财产处置中更容易陷入真假难辨的情境，由此引发心理不安、经济受损与主动回避数字生活等问题。更值得警惕的是，这类风险并未止步于个体层面，而是逐渐外溢为家庭信任受损、社会交往成本上升以及老年群体被边缘化的结构性隐患。如何在技术快速演进的同时回应老年人真实的安全需求，避免数字发展加剧代际不平等，已成为亟需正视的现实议题。

Abstract: In an era where digital technology intersects with population aging, deepfake technology is exerting a subtle yet persistent risk pressure on the elderly population. Highly realistic synthetic audio and video have continuously undermined the conventional judgment basis of “seeing is believing” in daily life, leaving the elderly more vulnerable to situations where truth and falsehood are indistinguishable in family communication, information identification, and property disposal. This has led to problems such as psychological distress, financial losses, and voluntary withdrawal from digital life. More alarmingly, such risks are not confined to the individual level; they have gradually evolved into structural hazards including eroded family trust, elevated social interaction costs, and the marginalization of the elderly. How to address the genuine security needs of the elderly amid rapid technological advancement and prevent digital development from exacerbating intergenerational inequality has become an urgent practical issue.
