On March 17th, as generative AI technology continues to advance rapidly, some individuals are opting to "revive" deceased loved ones using AI.
Simultaneously, there are bloggers online who are using AI to "revive" deceased celebrities, but this action has sparked discontent among many netizens.
It has been reported that recently, someone used AI to "revive" the late actor Qiao Renliang, sending greetings to fans through video.
According to media reports, regarding the infringement of his son's portrait, the father of Qiao Renliang expressed discomfort upon seeing the circulated video of "resurrected son" online and urged for its prompt removal.
"They didn't seek our consent. It was my niece who came across the video and sent it to me. It's like picking at a scab," said Qiao Renliang's father.
Not long ago, a video of Li Wen being "resurrected" by AI went viral. It all started when a blogger used digital technology to recreate every expression and gesture of Li Wen during her lifetime, with both voice and imagery generated by AI.
In the comments section of the video, some seized the opportunity to promote AI and charge for services under the guise of warmth and sentimentality.
Some netizens expressed, "Shouldn't this kind of AI 'resurrection' require consent from relatives?" "It's really disrespectful." "Resurrecting a deceased person briefly without the knowledge of the parents, and using it for publicity, is truly disrespectful to the deceased and to the living."
