The iterative upgrade of artificial intelligence technology has made it possible to "change faces" and "onomatopoeia", how can I prove that it is not "me"? In the face of the ultra-high production efficiency of artificial intelligence, how can I "grab work" with artificial intelligence? In the age of artificial intelligence, how to respond to such questions? Break free from the fate of being replaced, promote technology for good, I, or me.
Identity Substitution: How Do I Prove It's Not "Me"?
From "I prove that I am me" and "my mother is my mother" to "I prove that it is not me", the "identity substitution" in the era of artificial intelligence has made people have new doubts.
Answering the video call, the relatives and friends on the other side are anxious, please transfer money for emergency, do you borrow or not? If you borrow it, you may fall into the trap of AI fraud.
According to the relationship between the defrauded object and the imitated object, remote video fraud presents the characteristics of "thousands of people and thousands of faces", and the form of fraud transitions from the urgent need of business partners to the need to pay money for emergency changes in family members, etc., which is more than traditional telecom fraud.
The inherent thinking of "seeing is believing" makes people often dispel their doubts when they see the faces of relatives and friends, and it also makes it common for artificial intelligence to change faces and voice scams.
If the video call is fake, the video may also be fake, and the fake actor "Jin Dong" fraud case that has attracted a lot of attention is one of them.
"Do you believe me?" "Can I trust me to give you the best life?" When receiving these sweet words from "Jin Dong", many female victims were completely "fallen" and did not hesitate to transfer money as requested. However, it is not actor Jin Dong who "falls in love" with them at all, but a group of liars.
At the beginning of this year, the Jing'an District People's Court in Shanghai held a trial of the fraud case and made a first-instance verdict against the eight defendants in accordance with the law.
Tao Chenyi, vice president of the Criminal Trial Division of the Jing'an District People's Court, said that several defendants in this case registered "high-imitation accounts" containing celebrity names and nicknames, set their birthdays, addresses, and avatars to be consistent with celebrities, forwarded public videos of celebrities on short video platforms, and published and used processed celebrity photos, videos, and voice-changing audio. First, let fans mistakenly think that it is the celebrity himself, attract fans to like and comment, and then "cast a wide net" to invite fans to enter the live broadcast room to reward, and then divert traffic to social software, use unified speech techniques to induce, so that the victim has a wrong understanding, and finally ask for money for various reasons.
Job Substitution: How Do I "Grab a Job" with AI?
Creative jobs are at the top of almost all "rankings of occupations that will not be replaced by artificial intelligence" and are regarded as "self-reserved places in the age of artificial intelligence". However, the development of generative AI may be surpassing the public's imagination.
How long does it take to create an AI abstract oil painting? An hour? One minute? The answer is: one second.
Through artificial intelligence, input the subject of the content you want and the painting style of well-known painters, and soon, you can see a "black and white border herd in Van Gogh style", even if the painter himself has never created with this subject as a prototype, artificial intelligence can still read the characteristics of the painting style from Van Gogh's massive paintings, and imitate it vividly.
In fact, Christie, the world's leading art auction house, was able to sell a painting created entirely by artificial intelligence for $430,000, called "Portrait of Edmond Bellamy", which was created by three French students using an algorithm.

In the workplace, artificial intelligence has also gradually begun to exert force. According to the latest "2024 Global Talent Trends Study" released by Mercer, a human resource management consulting agency, in a survey of more than 12,000 senior executives, HR leaders, employees and investors around the world, senior executives believe that AI is the key to improving productivity, but most employees are not ready for the transformation.
"In the past technological updates and technological changes, we have seen a greater impact on blue-collar workers and manufacturing, and in this wave of technological change, we have seen the impact on white-collar or professional-led workplaces for the first time." Ilya Bonic, Mercer's global partner, president and head of strategy for the talent business, said that work in the workplace can be divided into three aspects: transactional, relational, and professional, and artificial intelligence has a place to play at all three levels: specifically, work involving transactional work can be almost completely replaced; In relational work, AI can be very good at identifying customer needs and making initial communications; At the professional level, generative AI can also help employees be more productive.
Irreplaceable: I, or me
Can I still be me? Can I still have a job? The answer is yes.
Artificial intelligence has always existed for human beings, and the good and evil of technological development, the control and constraints of technological use, "one body and two sides", the core is the goodness of technology.
While artificial intelligence fraud with "identity replacement" as the main demand emerges, artificial intelligence is also developing rapidly in the field of anti-fraud, and artificial intelligence counterfeiting and artificial intelligence anti-counterfeiting continue to iterate on attack and defense.
For example, DeepReal, a generative AI content detection platform, can identify fake content such as AI voice swapping and AI face swapping, and "confront" the well-known AI face swapping platform DeepFake.
The police in many places in the mainland have also launched artificial intelligence "anti-fraud police". The Wuhua Branch of the Kunming Municipal Public Security Bureau launched an intelligent anti-fraud platform and an AI "anti-fraud police", and after discovering that a citizen who had received a suspected fraud number many times in the big data research and judgment, he immediately used the AI "anti-fraud police" to inform him that those harassing calls might be fraud, and carried out timely legal popularization publicity. At present, the number of telecommunication network fraud cases and property losses in the jurisdiction have continued to decline.
In the workplace, despite the panic of being "replaced by jobs", more employees are actively facing it and actively embracing the era of artificial intelligence.
According to the survey, 45% of employees in China believe that their company will give them enough training to help them adapt to the changes brought about by AI, which is significantly higher than the global figure of 30%, which means that Chinese employees and companies are more positive in their mindset and practices in the AI era. By helping employees navigate and use AI through skills training, employees can take the initiative to keep up with the pace of new productivity development and match their own capabilities with high-quality economic development.
Ilya Bonich said that it is feasible to improve productivity through artificial intelligence, but the answer lies not only in artificial intelligence, generative AI cannot bring productivity improvement alone, and it still needs to improve labor efficiency in the way of "human-machine collaboration", "artificial intelligence will always be only part of the equation, and people are still the most important force for development."
Human-robot collaboration is becoming more and more possible. For example, through "embodied intelligence", that is, "agents with physical carriers", in the real physical world, as artificial intelligence has a physical body, robots and robot dogs can have the ability to perceive, think and act like humans, and human-computer interaction can further break through from the interaction with ChatGPT, Sora and other large-scale model digital worlds to the physical space.
