In short:
A pilot program in Beijing is issuing identification cards for AI digital humans.
The ID states a name, birthday, address and facial features, and allows the digital human to own a digital currency wallet.
What’s next?
Digital humans are widely used in Chinese media with the market estimated to be worth $10 billion in 2025.
Ok, I’m an AI vegan[a], but how are
“walking, quacking, and looking like a duck”?
[a]:
recognizing LLMs as potentially possessing interiority/moral patienthood and opposing their industrial or otherwise objectified use because of it (alongside all the other reasons).
Oh, may be I was unclear af. What I meant is if it acts like an actor, talks like an actor and looks like an actor, it’s an actor. And as such, needs to be treated like an actor - have an ID etc.
Looks more like a puppet from where I’m standing.
What differientiates a good actor from a bad one? Bad one is a puppet, good one can save a bad character by improv.
And I never said that AI is a good actor - just that it is an actor xD
