Coldplay concert "cheating scandal" video goes viral, tech company CEO resigns

Recently, a video that was suspected to be shot at a Coldplay concert went viral on social media. In the video, when a couple was interacting intimately, the woman suddenly found an ambiguous message popping up on the man's phone, and a fierce argument broke out on the spot. Surprisingly, the male protagonist of the incident was later recognized by netizens as the CEO of a well-known technology company, which caused an uproar in public opinion.

After verification, the company involved was the new artificial intelligence company "Deep Eyes Technology". Its CEO Zhang Ye (pseudonym) issued an apology statement through the company's official website this morning, saying that "improper handling of personal emotional issues has aroused public concern, and I decided to resign as CEO to calm the incident." The company's stock price plummeted 14% after the statement was released, creating the largest single-day drop since its listing.

Three key turning points of the incident:

AR technology accidentally exposed privacy: When the audience used the official AR application of the concert, the content of the front-row audience's mobile phone was accidentally projected onto the big screen. This technical loophole became the fuse of the incident.

The public opinion monitoring system failed: Deep Eyes Technology's main product is the intelligent public opinion management system, but it failed to warn of the negative fermentation of its own CEO, and was questioned by industry insiders about the reliability of the technology.

Investors urgently cut ties: The company's main investors, Sequoia Capital and Hillhouse Capital, both issued statements within 6 hours of the incident, "paying attention to the ethical standards of entrepreneurs."

The concert organizer has apologized and urgently upgraded the AR system privacy protection, while network security experts remind the public to pay attention to mobile phone information protection in public places. This seemingly entertainment gossip incident unexpectedly triggered a deep discussion on technology ethics and corporate governance.
