Humans, robots, virtual humans, three pillars?

Published on 3 June 2024 at 22:46

 

Suddenly, it is like the One Night Metaverse, where virtual people are everywhere. Human beings are forming a new social relationship with virtual digital humans and AI robots. Humans, robots, and virtual humans are starting to stand on each other?

 

 

who I am? Where am I from? Where am I going?

 

who I am? Where am I from? Where am I going? This is a philosophical question that human beings have been thinking about. Digital virtual humans also have to solve this problem. From a human point of view, how do we define the life of a virtual person?

 

Pregnancy - pinch face? Smart scan? modeling?

 

Birth - Rendering? Holographic projection?

 

Growth – AI Driven? Mocap driver? deep learning?

 

Employment - the most popular occupation for virtual people: live streaming? Show star? host?

 

The Emotional World—How to Shape the "Emotional Intelligence" of Virtual Humans?

 

 

Boss Sun, his company "gives birth" to a lot of virtual humans. For virtual humans, he has experienced the process from "difficult childbirth" to prolific birth.        He is a veritable father of virtual humans. Kang Kang, head of Bilibili's VirtuaReal virtual artist project, is responsible for the cultivation, employment and development of virtual people after they are "born". One is in charge of birth and the other is in charge of care. "Father" is in charge of childbirth, and "mother"     is in charge of education. The two guests revealed the "life, old age, sickness and death" of a "virtual person" from different angles in the program "Let's Find Finance and Economics".

 

 

Are virtual humans human?

 

After the "explosion" of the metaverse in 2021, as one of the media connecting the real world to the metaverse, a large number of virtual people ran into the arena: "Liu Yexi", who gained millions of fans overnight, "Hua Zhibing", a beauty student, Vanke's annual Excellent new employee "Cui Xiaopan", SMG anchor

Shen Yuya... virtual people are no longer the spokespersons of virtual idols, and they even start to "work with certificates" in industries such as automobiles, banks, and securities. Compared with real people, virtual people are considered to be cheaper and "will not collapse the house", so they are favored by

various brands and MCN institutions. Therefore, with the improvement of technology, the usage scenarios of virtual humans are constantly being unlocked.

 

 

 

Ling Hong, professor of the Department of Information Management and Business Intelligence, School of Management, Fudan University, and director of the Smart City Research Center of Fudan University, believes that the three elements of this society are people, things, and fields. In virtual space, only the fields have changed, or people are simulating the way people communicate.

 

How do virtual humans, robots, and humans collaborate?

 

With the advancement of technology and the promotion of human needs, whether it is the external image, the driving technology and the creators behind it, the growth of virtual humans can be seen with the naked eye. As the abilities of virtual humans grow, what can they bring to human beings?

 

 

Sun Bo believes: "I believe that we will achieve a better society with robots and artificial intelligence. There will be real human entities, human-like artificial intelligence, and robots. Everyone has a common A better world."

 

Whether it's healing or nurturing, or doing dirty or tiring work for people, or helping humans with trial and error, virtual humans are constantly entering human life.

 

 

我是谁?我来自哪里?我要到哪里去?

 

我是谁?我来自哪里?我要到哪里去?这是人类一直在思考的哲学问题。数字虚拟人同样要解决这个问题。从人的角度来看,我们如何来定义一个虚拟人的一生?

孕育——捏脸?智能扫描?建模?

诞生——渲染?全息投影?

成长——AI驱动?动捕驱动?深度学习?

就业——虚拟人最热门的职业:直播带货?演艺明星?主持人?

感情世界——虚拟人的“情商”如何塑造?

 

          孙博总,他的公司“生育”了很多的虚拟人,对于虚拟人,他经历了“难产”到多产的过程,他是名副其实的虚拟人爸爸。B站VirtuaReal虚拟艺人项目负责人亢亢,负责虚拟人“出生”后的培育、就业和发展。一个管生,一个管养。“爸爸”负责生育,“妈妈”负责教育,两个嘉宾在《来点财经范儿》节目当中,分别从不同角度揭示一个“虚拟人”的“生老病死”。

 

 

虚拟人是人吗?

       2021年元宇宙“爆炸”后,作为现实世界连接元宇宙的媒介之一,大批虚拟人跑步入场:一夜涨粉百万的“柳夜熙”、美女学霸“华智冰”、万科年度优秀新员工“崔筱盼”、SMG主播申䒕雅……虚拟人不再是虚拟偶像的代言人,他们甚至开始在汽车、银行、证券等行业“持证上岗”。与真人相比,虚拟人被认为成本更低,且“不会塌房”,因此获得各类品牌、MCN机构的青睐。于是,伴随着技术的提升,虚拟人的使用场景不断被解锁。

 

          复旦大学管理学院信息管理与商业智能系教授、复旦大学智慧城市研究中心主任凌鸿认为,这个社会三个要素是人、物、场,在虚拟空间里,只是场发生了变化,还是人在模拟人的沟通方式。

 

 

虚拟人、机器人、人,如何协作?

          随着技术的进步和人类需求的推动,无论是外在形象、驱动技术和背后创作者,虚拟人的成长肉眼可见。虚拟人的本领渐长,能给人类带来什么?

 

 

          孙博认为:“我相信我们一定跟机器人和人工智能达成更美好的社会,这里面会有真的人实体,会有像人一样的人工智能,也会有机器人,大家共同有一个更美好的世界。

 

          无论是治愈系,还是养成系,还是替人做脏活、累活,帮人类试错,虚拟人正在不断走进人类的生活。
