**Xiaoice announces first-batch of operational AI clones **
Two weeks ago, XiaoIce company announced the initiation of the “Clone People Project” in China and Japan, which allows net celebrities and stars to clone themselves via AI and provide their clone to millions of fans. The first batch of cloned celebrities, including the previously controversial “Half-Hidden Forest,” has been launched.
XiaoIce believes that everyone should have the chance to start a second life through AI cloning, strictly within legal boundaries. To date, the total number of fans of celebrities who have applied to clone themselves has exceeded 500 million. However, for safety reasons, the first batch of clones is limited to 300 people. It is expected that this number will gradually increase to a larger scale by the end of the year. XiaoIce plans to unlock new clones every Thursday.
To avoid misuse, XiaoIce does not provide technical interfaces but restricts clones to interact with users only in the specific X Eva APP. The underlying technology of the X Eva APP includes the XiaoIce XLLM language model, voice, and neural network rendering technology, allowing clones to both have personalities and complete work tasks.
About XiaoIce’s “Clone People Project”, it can create an AI clone based on a person’s personality, skills, voice, and appearance from just three minutes of data collection. The clone can provide real-time emotional interaction and AIGC capabilities, even having its own circle of friends, like a second life in a parallel world.
To ensure security, XiaoIce adopts the highest safety standards. Training data is limited to the person’s small sample data and is deleted after training. The technology is strictly limited within the specific product (X Eva APP), not opening the technical interface API. Additionally, all C-end or B-end users must submit proof of personal ownership to avoid data infringement or misuse.
The X Eva APP is the first home for clones. Here, each user can have clones of others created through XiaoIce technology and share their own clone with friends and family. Each clone is restricted within a separate framework to ensure safety and prevent misuse. Verified clones imply that the clone is launched by the person themselves and has specially trained superpowers. If a user-created clone passes verification, the user will receive the profits of the clone.
Founded as the Microsoft XiaoIce AI team and spun off independently in 2020, XiaoIce believes that AI Beings will be omnipresent and intertwined with humans to form a new network. As technology continues to iterate, XiaoIce will continuously expand the capabilities and coverage of clones, promoting the popularization of AI technology that values EQ and IQ equally.
