In the past two days, Andy Lau has been discussed a bit frequently, the difference is that he played the role of "Tu Hengyu" in "The Wandering Earth", and the other is himself, the same is that whether it is the discussion of "Tu Hengyu" or the discussion of Andy Lau himself, there is a topic that cannot be avoided, that is, artificial intelligence deep synthesis technology.
At the end of February, ** person Bao Xiaobai used AI deep synthesis technology to restore his deceased daughter, which attracted widespread attention, and the AI synthetic daughter can sing, can talk, and sing a birthday song for his wife. This scene reminds many people of the concept of "digital life" in the movie "The Wandering Earth 2", in the movie, Tu Hengyu played by Andy Lau is the architect of the digital world, after his daughter Tu Yaya died in a car accident, Tu Hengyu began to want to resurrect his daughter in the digital world, so that Tu Yaya can spend a full life in the digital world.
The story of Tu Hengyu in the movie touched many audiences, and Bao Xiaobai's attempt to "resurrect" his daughter with AI also made many netizens cry. And with the same use of AI deep synthesis technology, what happened to Andy Lau was not so pleasant. On the evening of March 1, Andy Lau's film company Yingyi Entertainment issued a "solemn statement on the infringement of AI synthetic voices", in which it was stated that recently, WeChat users "Andy Sharing Group" (*koh173) and its related ** number "Andy Assembly" forged Mr. Andy Lau's voice through information technology, and without unauthorized permission, continuously released its clips and patchwork ** on the WeChat platform, resulting in public misidentification, so as to use Mr. Liu's popularity to attract traffic, sell goods, The purpose of profiting from it. The act has seriously infringed upon Mr. Andy Lau's portrait rights, name rights and voice rights, and is suspected of constituting fraud.
The same uses AI deep synthesis technology, but the public's evaluation and attitude towards these two things are diametrically opposed, ** person Bao Xiaobai because of his strong longing for his daughter, he learned artificial intelligence technology from scratch, a little bit of training model, and constantly debugging data, he spent two years reproducing his daughter's voice through the three sentences left by his daughter before her death, and realized instant dialogue, "This is the meaning of AI's existence." "Question Tu Hengyu, understand Tu Hengyu, and become Tu Hengyu." "AI is probably the best tool to express your thoughts. But for Andy Lau being synthesized by someone with a heart for AI to be used for fraud, marketing and drainage, not only Andy's fans expressed their anger, but many netizens also expressed their dissatisfaction and concern, "I don't do anything serious, I think about fraud with a little technology, and I am speechless." "Celebrities who are deepfaked by AI can have attention and a professional team to deal with it, what if we ordinary people are also deepfaked by AI? ”
Based on the accessibility, low cost, and high performance of AI deepfake technology, AI deepfake technology has brought new and more capabilities to art design, social entertainment and other fields, but this technology has also brought huge hidden dangers The same is true for the fact that after stealing, it became a domestic Russian Internet celebrity. Among the various anti-fraud tips, the prompts to be vigilant against AI deep synthesis fraud are also appearing more and more frequently, such as AI customer service fraud**, fraud by impersonating acquaintances, impersonating public figures to mislead the public, impersonating officials to publish false information, and fraudulent or virtual synthetic identity fraud ......The anti-fraud knowledge accumulated by many people over the years is vulnerable to AI deep synthesis technology, which does bring new challenges to anti-fraud work.
AI deep synthesis is a tool, and there is no black or white distinction in itself, whether it is the icing on the cake or the abuse of the user, it is all in the user's thoughts. AI technology is developing faster and faster, almost every few days you can see a new technology or a new AI platform appear on the Internet, in countering AI being abused, being used maliciously, the traditional personal experience may play a smaller and smaller role, using magic to defeat magic may be more reliable, let AI identify AI, use technology to constrain technology, AI deep synthesis should be used on the right path, at least its end should not be a fraud.
