At the same time, the blogger uses the video to attract business in making videos, which can be regarded as an act for the purpose of commercial profit.

Experts: There is a lack of special laws and regulations, and the use of AI to "resurrection" the dead needs to improve the rule system

According to the Rule of Law Daily, interviewed experts suggested that before providing services, AI "resurrection" technology providers should clearly require users to provide relevant certificates, and Strengthen technical precautions to prevent AI products from infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of others or being used for fraud and other illegal activities. Relevant departments must strengthen supervision and promote the establishment of industry standards to not only ensure technological innovation, but also protect human value and dignity.

Zheng Ning, director of the Law Department of the School of Cultural Industry Management of Communication University of China, suggested that for potential audiences who want to "resurrect" their loved ones through AI technology, choosing a formal institution is the key to ensuring the security of personal information and legitimate rights and interests.

"Signing a contract is also an important part. The contract must clearly stipulate that the property rights and other rights of digital people belong to individuals rather than enterprises. In addition, the contract should also include detailed provisions on liability for breach of contract. If the cooperative enterprise is found to have violated laws and regulations, Reports and complaints should be made to the competent authorities in a timely manner. Such reports can help maintain the legal order of the entire industry and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of users," Zheng Ning said.

In this regard, Zhao Zhanhan, a lawyer at Beijing Jiawei Law Firm, pointed out that it is an illegal act if the producer uses its own artificial intelligence software to generate products and does not label them during the sales process. If products generated using other artificial intelligence software are marked with relevant information, but the producer removes it through technical means, whether it complies with legal requirements is still open to question.At present, although artificial intelligence technology has not emerged in my country for a long time, and the "Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services" and other regulations were issued relatively timely, there are currently no specific laws and regulations for technologies such as digital "resurrection", and it may be necessary to Standardize over time when issues arise in the future.

"Legislation is usually lagging behind, especially in the field of new technologies." Zheng Ning said, It is often difficult to solve problems by legislating or amending laws when new problems arise. Bottom-line problems must be solved through legislation. In addition, it can be solved through "soft "Laws" such as industry standards, corporate self-regulatory behavior, etc., play a normative role in actual operations , "In the field of digital 'resurrection', industry associations can take the lead in formulating ethical standards, and companies and practitioners can follow these standards to help solve problems." .
