China News Service, Beijing, March 24 (Reporter Ma Shuaisha) In the movie "The Wandering Earth 2", the plot of scientist Tu Hengyu played by Andy Lau trying to "resurrection" his deceased daughter using artificial intelligence (AI) technology has now been revealed. Reality.
Recently, some online bloggers have used AI technology to "resurrection" many deceased artists, which has caused controversy. Some artists' families have come forward to condemn the boycott, and many netizens have questioned that this behavior is not only a way to earn traffic by consuming the deceased artist in the name of warmth, but also a secondary harm to the family of the deceased.
Currently, using AI to "resurrection" the deceased has developed into a "business", with service prices ranging from one hundred yuan to ten thousand yuan. Customers provide pictures and audio data of the deceased, and merchants can create animations with different degrees of fidelity and interactivity. digital image and let it "speak". AI images of deceased artists have become eye-catching tools for some businesses.
In this regard, some legal professionals pointed out that the personality rights of the deceased are still protected by law. If AI technology is used to "resurrection" the deceased without authorization from the deceased or the consent of the deceased's family, the service provider may infringe upon the deceased's rights and impact the family's memory and emotions of the deceased, and may be subject to civil liability. Risks, and in serious cases, the risk of constituting a criminal offence.
Some people believe that in this process, AI is actually just a tool, and its effect depends on the technology user. What people should do is to make good use of the power of AI technology and allow technology applications to develop under more complete supervision and regulations, both Guaranteeing technological innovation also protects human value and dignity. When relatives themselves request the use of AI technology to "resurrection" the deceased, people are also generally concerned about how the relevant data is protected and used.
Talking about how to bring supervision to the forefront, Zhang Linghan, a professor at the Institute of Data Law of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that a more stable and feasible method is to always draw the red line and bottom line of technological development, and always require technological development not to break through national security, social public interests and citizens. The bottom line of personal rights protection.
In contrast to some businesses that use deceased artists to gain traffic, some people use AI technology to "reappear" their loved ones to comfort their longing. Musician Bao Xiaobai used AI technology to construct the digital life of his late daughter, chatting with "her" and caring about "her" daily life. Although he knew that "she" was a robot, he was still satisfied.
For these families who have lost loved ones, especially for elderly elders, AI "resurrection" technology has been endowed with the warmth and emotional power of humanistic care, and can provide people with spiritual support and spiritual comfort. However, while people praise the good use of digital life, there are also concerns that AI "resurrection" technology may become a way to escape reality, making it difficult for people to accept the true death of their loved ones, prolonging or even aggravating the sadness.
Cheng Sumei, a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that this technology may change people's acceptance of death and the way they mourn. It blurs the boundaries between life and death to some extent, forcing people to rethink what memory is and what a true farewell is. People's lifestyle cannot be divorced from real life, and turning away from reality will make people more and more illusory.
Zack Kass, the former global commercialization head of OpenAI, said that if you can "dialogue" with the deceased, you may be able to comfort your heart in a short period of time, but this is not the world that humans want to live in. There must be a clear dividing line between humans and machines. What he is most worried about is that people will replace themselves with machines in the community.
As AI technology brings more and more disruptive life expectations to people, it has become an industry consensus to strengthen the standardization and supervision of AI technology applications. However, how to make digital life and other AI technology applications more technical and ethical remains to be seen. People have more space to think. (over)
