迪丽热巴、杨紫维权：“追究到底！”

Chinese actress Yang Zi has condemned the unauthorized use of her likeness in an AI-generated short drama, as a related case involving Dilraba Dilmurat underscores growing legal scrutiny over AI face-swapping in China.

On Friday, the topic trended online after netizens alleged that a short drama used AI technology to replicate Yang's appearance in one of its episodes. Her studio said the production had used AI face-swapping and deep synthesis without authorization, seriously infringing on Yang's rights, and added that legal action is underway. The video has since been removed.

同日，演员迪丽热巴起诉某平台播出短剧利用AI换脸技术盗用其肖像牟利一事，也有了最新进展。

据北京互联网法院消息，法院认定，短剧制作方擅自使用深度合成技术生成与某演员高度相似的形象，侵害其肖像权；短剧播出方未尽合理审查义务，同样承担相应责任。

On the same day, a court ruling in a separate case involving Dilraba reinforced accountability for AI misuse. The Beijing Internet Court found a production company liable for infringing on an actor's portrait rights by using deep synthesis without consent. A distribution platform was also held responsible by the court for failing to conduct adequate review.

此案原告为国内某知名演员，该演员发现被告A公司制作并发布的短剧中，通过AI换脸技术将其肖像拼接至剧中角色面部，相关话题在多个社交平台引发讨论，大量网络用户误认为原告参与了该剧。与此同时，被告B公司在其运营的视频账号上线涉案短剧。

Both parties were ordered to issue public apologies and pay compensation, with the ruling taking effect after neither side filed an appeal.

The controversy comes as platforms tighten rules on AI-generated content. Following the launch of Seedance 2.0, Doubao said it would ban the generation of real individuals' likenesses, voices and videos without authorization, using filters, facial recognition and content checks to curb deepfakes and infringement.
