Hongguo Short Drama Gives AI Characters an Official Identity: Virtual Avatars Can Now Have Their Rights Confirmed
The proliferation of AI faces in micro short dramas has made it difficult to determine whose face it is, who authorized it, and who owns it. On November 9, the Hongguo Short Drama Creator Center announced the launch of virtual avatar creation and rights confirmation capabilities, issuing "identity cards" for AI virtual avatars. Creators must submit prior evidence from one of three sources—real-person authorization, IP authorization, or original design—for filing, so as to first clarify ownership. This move aims to address the intricate chain of rights behind AI virtual avatars, clarify sources and ownership, and reduce authorization disputes.
