The well-loved Chinese cartoon “Black Cat Detective” is back with a brand new episode after 42 years! Titled “AI Security Chapter”, it made its debut on January 9, one day ahead of Chinese People’s Police Day.
This special episode has brought the classic story into the modern world. Our hero, Black Cat Detective, once again fights his old enemy One-Ear. But this time, One-Ear uses AI for crimes such as deepfakes, data theft and algorithmic attacks in the digital forest.
The new episode is full of nostalgia, but it also teaches viewers about AI safety. It helps older fans relive their childhood memories, while showing younger audiences how to stay safe online—all through a cartoon character everyone knows and loves. Many major news outlets in China have covered the story.
