Abstract

AI face-swapping is an image processing method based on artificial intelligence technology that can replace the facial features of one face photo with the facial features of another face photo, thereby achieving the effect of changing the face. The emergence of this technology quickly affected the film industry and sparked heated discussions in society. This article studies facelift technology in the film industry, exploring it from ethical, legal, and social perspectives. Ethical issues will become the primary issue in technology promotion, in addition to ethical challenges. This technology has caused a series of legal issues, such as copyright, privacy, and data security, during its application. Finally, this article believes that effective constraints on this technology are feasible solutions that require legal constraints and regulation, as well as in-depth negotiations and communication among stakeholders, in order for artificial intelligence technology to better promote the development of the film industry.
