In October 2024, a large number of dubbing videos of Xiaomi CEO "Lei Jun" appeared on the short video platform, and various dubbing imitation and spoof videos emerged one after another. In fact, the voices in these videos are not from Lei Jun himself, but are dubbed by AI.From spoofing entrepreneur Lei Jun to AI producing audio and video of Dr. Zhang Wenhong to sell goods for themselves, there are even criminals who use AI to deeply synthesize videos to commit fraud.
In the past year, the phenomenon of AI deep synthesis audio and video infringement has become more and more serious.
Recently, CCTV News exposed the chaos of AI-synthesized celebrity audio and video.
Previously, some netizens used Andy Lau's voice produced by AI to gain traffic for themselves. Andy Lau Film Company also issued an urgent statement to remind netizens not to fall into the AI speech synthesis technology scam of forging Andy Lau's voice.
A CCTV News investigation found that it is not difficult to achieve AI deep synthesis of audio and video, and even on some shopping platforms,AI deep synthesis technology has become a profit-making tool for many online stores. It only costs tens of yuan to customize AI deep synthesis of celebrity audio and video.
Experts said,Relevant laws and regulations clearly stipulate that deep synthesis, production and release of other people’s information is prohibited without authorization.
Online stores that receive orders for deep AI synthesis to produce celebrity videos are already infringements and should bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
In addition, not only celebrities, but ordinary people and even animated images, if they use AI to synthesize their audio and video without the consent of the person or the copyright owner, it can also be judged as an infringement and should bear legal responsibility.
