Abstract: Misusing AI in video production, such as creating deepfakes, leads to significant social losses and crimes. While individual users are exposed to losses and crimes, little research examines the factors influencing their intention to misuse AI in video production. To fill the gap, this study aims to identify the key factors influencing individuals' intention to misuse AI and their resistance to AI. An online survey was conducted in June 2023, and data was collected from 400 respondents in Korea. The analysis of mediation has substantiated the impact of perceived risk on the misuse of AI voices as well as the favorability towards AI humans to resistance. In addition, this study successfully established the mediating effects of attitudes and subjective norms on the relationships between risk perception, favorability, misuse, and resistance. This study revealed that to reduce intentions of misuse, it is imperative to enhance the perception of risk and cultivate negative attitudes toward the misuse of AI. Notably, this study also identified variations in these effects across different modalities. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of improving humans' perceptions of risk to artificial intelligence to address the potential for misuse.
