Study Notes

China's Digital Humans and Livestreamers

China's tech companies are skilled at creating digital humans, partly due to the large number of livestreamers who use AI to create clones of themselves to promote products 24/7.
In 2022, livestreamers generated an estimated 5tn yuan in sales.

SenseTime and Digital Clones

SenseTime, a leading AI company, showed off its digital human skills by creating a digital clone of its founder, Tang Xiao'ou, who passed away in 2022.
The digital clone gave a speech at SenseTime's annual general meeting, demonstrating the company's ability to create realistic digital humans.

Tomb-Sweeping Festival and Digital Afterlives

The tomb-sweeping festival provides an opportunity for people to use AI to resurrect their loved ones, with some services offering digital avatars for as little as 20 yuan (£2.20).
Digital clones are being used to create new content, such as videos, featuring the deceased, which raises concerns about consent and potential harm to relatives.

Case Studies

Taiwanese singer Bao Xiaobai used AI to "resurrect" his 22-year-old daughter, who died in 2022, by creating a video of her singing happy birthday to her mother.
Bao spent over a year experimenting with AI technology to achieve this.

Digital Humans Market

The market size for "digital humans" in China was worth 12bn yuan in 2022 and is expected to quadruple by 2025.
