Recently, according to the foreign media "Daily Mail" reported that catriona Campbell, a British artificial intelligence expert, said that virtual children will be popular in 50 years. For the next 50 years, virtual kids can play with you, hug you, and even help fight overpopulation. These computer-generated virtual children will only exist in the metaverse.
Whether human technology will actually develop to the day campbell's ideal is still uncertain, but the debate about the metacosm and virtualization has never stopped. A few days ago, there were media reports that a woman was "sexually assaulted" by a stranger in the metaverse, which caused widespread concern. The victim this time is a 21-year-old woman who created a female avatar in Horizon World to experience the "metaverse."
Earlier, on March 30, Japanese netizen "Autumn Sky" publicly stated on the Twitter platform that he had suffered "VR rape" in the "VRchat" game.
This "VR rape case" occurred during "VR sleep". "The so-called VR sleep is to sleep with a headset on." There are other players who sit on her avatar and swing their waists while autumn skies are sleeping. The "victim" stressed, "Although it did not cause physical harm, it was still psychologically uncomfortable." ”
It is clear that current laws cannot deal with violations in the metaverse. With the development of the metaverse, there will be more and more "transgression" and "violation" behaviors, and how to do a good job of standardization in the early stage. This is not only a top priority for companies, but also for governments.
