Abstract:
With the advancement of science and technology and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years, intelligent and digitalized lifestyles have become the norm. AI-generated content (AIGC) has entered people’s lives and shown a blowout development trend. As a major output of AIGC, virtual digital humans have evolved from being “unbearable to look at” to being “indistinguishable” from real humans, exerting multiple impacts on people’s lives to a certain extent. AIGC and virtual digital humans can bring spiritual comfort to users, drive technological progress, and promote social stability. Meanwhile, they also face a series of risks, such as infringement behaviors of portraits, data privacy risks, and the alienation of human nature. This paper proposed solutions from various aspects, such as legal and technical supervision, embedding ethical standards into technology development, raising the market thresholds, and strengthening public publicity, striving to guide science and technology towards good.
