1
As AI becomes increasingly capable of generating realistic images,
2
voices and even personalities, questions about identity in AI-generated contents have received more attention than ever.
3
And why boundaries between the real and the artificial continue to blur.
4
A growing number of initiatives are encouraging people to rethink what makes us uniquely human.
5
More in the following.
6
This AI generated video created by content creator Thay Anh Toan has attracted millions of views on social media.
7
With the help of AI, it only took him a few minutes to create a digital version of himself.
8
However, as AI becomes increasingly accessible to creators,
9
preserving his personal identity in every piece of content remains one of Toan's biggest concern.
10
I always start from something personal, observation, live experience, my own text, then I use AI to bring it to life.
11
I deliberately avoid ready-made presents or prompts from community because that's the fastest way to play into the crowd.
12
As AI makes it easier than ever to create digital versions of ourselves,
13
questions of identity and ownership are becoming increasingly important to encourage more responsible use of AI.
14
Many initiatives have been launched.
15
One of them is the Alien Self Exhibition, where visitors can experience firsthand how AI recreates human faces, voices and behavior.
16
Every movement I make is instantly mirrored by this AI-generated face.
17
It smiles when I smile and follows all my facial expression in real time.
18
This experience highlights how easily AI can replicate the way humans behave,
19
human behave, prompting visitors to rethink the issues of authenticity, privacy and identity.
20
It was a really interesting experience.
21
At the same time, I found it a little frightening.
22
Even though AI technology is still developing, seeing my own image recreated in that virtual environment made me feel quite uncomfortable.
23
While visitors leave with different impressions,
24
the experience also reflects a broader shift in how society is beginning to think about the relationship between people and AI.
25
Progress that comes with artificial intelligence is very important as well.
26
It's going to help countries, including Vietnam, develop at a faster rate.
27
But we also need to think of everything that goes with artificial intelligence so that we keep our humanity, we keep our identity.
28
I know identity is a very important aspect for Vietnam as well.
29
So how can we keep that in the age of AI?
30
So these are the kind of things that we hope the public will think about.
31
The more human AI appears, the more important the question of human identity becomes.
32
In the years ahead, the challenge will be not only to embrace innovation, but also to preserve the values and creativity that shape our identity.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
