The 41-year-old actress Qi Wei has officially introduced her digital avatar, Han Qingxia, marking her foray into the realm of AI-animated dramas. Her AI persona boasts a distinctive fusion of cyber and post-apocalyptic aesthetics. Since making her debut in 2006, Qi Wei has carved out a successful career spanning music, film, and television. Prior to her, other actors such as Ng Kai-wah and Joey Wong have also licensed their AI-generated images. At present, AI technology is revolutionizing the entertainment landscape, yet it has also given rise to infringement disputes. Qi Wei's legal authorization has ignited industry-wide debates on the licensing of image rights. Legal experts warn that image rights cannot be fully transferred, and advise actors at the peak of their careers to tread carefully when granting AI companies the right to use their images.
