全网爆红的“ZAO”换脸软件
导读
刚刚过去的这个周末，很多小伙伴都在朋友圈里燥起来了，而让大家着实过了把戏瘾的正是这款名为“ZAO”的换脸软件
用户只需上传自己的一张正脸照，就可以替换“小李子”、吴亦凡、李现、赵丽颖、赵薇等明星的面孔，生成以自己为主角的视频片段。
剧库中不仅有今年的热门剧《小欢喜》《陈情令》《亲爱的热爱的》，还有经典老片诸如《还珠格格》《情深深雨濛濛》《甄嬛传》等，就连日剧、韩剧、经典电影中的各种情景也都包含在内。
A mobile application that enables users to appear as celebrities in hit movies or TV series has been widely accused of excessively collecting personal information, stirring public concerns over privacy and the rights to one’s image.
一款允许用户在热门电影或电视剧中以名人身份出现的手机应用程序，被广泛指责过度收集个人信息，引发公众对隐私和个人形象权的担忧。
The app, dubbed ZAO, or “make” in Mandarin, allows users to upload photos of their faces and swap them with the faces of celebrities in blockbusters or hit TV series by using artificial intelligence.
该应用程序被称为ZAO，或者是用普通话读作“造”，它允许用户上传自己的照片，并使用人工智能将其与大片或热门电视剧中的明星的脸进行交换。
On the app, users can choose from a pool of video footage and replace a star’s face with their own by uploading their own high-definition photos featuring a full-frontal shot of their faces.
在这款应用程序上，用户可以从视频素材库中进行选择，通过上传自己的高清照片，用自己的正面照片替换明星的脸。
Then they need to verify their faces following a string of instructions that require them to open their mouths or lift their heads, for example, to make sure the face is really theirs. The app can automatically analyze and ban photos of public figures. Users cannot share finished videos without face verification.
为了验证是用户本人，还要配合软件指令做出反应，比如张张嘴或抬抬头。而软件会自动分析和禁止上传公众人物的照片，在没有通过面部验证的情况下不能完成视频的制作。
ZAO became a sensation overnight. Since last Friday, social media users have posted videos starring themselves on various digital platforms, - so many that the server was almost paralyzed, the app said on Weibo last Friday night, adding that they probably would have to make stricter traffic restrictions the next day.
由于一夜之间太过火爆，大批的网友上传照片，在各个数字媒体分享自己“主演”的小视频，多个服务器陷入了瘫痪……该软件则表示不得不设限。
It attracted a large number of netizens soon after its debut last Friday night, but many began to worry if their personal information would be disclosed and used by criminals amid the trend of facial recognition payment.
“ZAO”在上周五晚上首次亮相后很快就吸引了大量网友使用，但许多网友开始担心自己的个人信息会不会泄露？在刷脸支付盛行后会不会被盗用？
大家的担心也不无道理。此前，国外AI换脸算法deepfakes将明星脸无缝换到其它视频，毫无违和感，今年2月份，B站某用户，用杨幂的脸代替了某视频的主人公，引发热议和争议。
The practice of creating deepfakes was popularized in 2017 by an anonymous Reddit user called deepfakes who posted fake hardcore porn videos featuring the faces of Gal Gadot, Taylor Swift and other celebrities. The account garnered some 80,000 subscribers in a matter of months.
而据《华盛顿邮报》网站报道，“换脸”操作在2017年就盛行开来，当时有位名叫deepfakes的Reddit用户，po出了很多明星脸的黄色视频，其中就有泰勒•斯威夫特和盖尔•加朵。在几个月的时间里，这个账号就有了8万粉丝。
The original agreement, which sparkled wide controversy online, said “before you upload or post any content, you agree to grant ZAO, its affiliates and ZAO users worldwide the right to irrevocably use your original photo, synthesized photo and videos for free and for good … and to make changes to the portraits of the original holders.”
最初在网上引起广泛争议的协议表示，“在您上传及/或发布用户内容之前，您同意或者确保实际权利人同意授予‘ZAO’机器关联公司以及‘ZAO’用户全球范围内完全免费、不可撤销、永久、可转授权和可再许可的权利……”
The app’s sharing link on WeChat, a Chinese social network app, has been shut down, and its web page said that “the page has security hazards and has received many complaints. In order to maintain a good internet environment, access has been stopped.”
而周日，不少人也注意到，该软件的微信分享链接已停止访问，页面显示“网页存在安全风险，被多人投诉，为维护绿色上网环境，已停止访问”。
The app also modified its user agreement on Saturday, adding a special notice in the front that states content will not be used for other purposes and can be removed from the server.
该软件周六已对用户协议做出了修改，在开头增加了特别提示，称不会以任何其他形式或目的使用内容，用户可以依据“ZAO”平台规则撤回或删除内容，“ZAO”也将在服务器上相应删除。
The platform said on Sunday on its Sina Weibo account that “we fully understand your concerns about privacy issues. We have received the questions you have raised and will correct the parts that were not well-considered. It will take some time.”
周日，该软件在新浪微博上称，十分理解大家对隐私问题的担忧。你们提的问题都已收到，考虑不周的地方我们会去改，需要一点时间。
而对于担心自己因为在网上“露脸”以后被盗刷的朋友们，支付宝方面称，刷脸支付采用的是3D人脸识别技术，在进行人脸识前，也会通过软硬件结合的方式进行检测，来判断采集到的人脸是否是照片、视频或者软件模拟生成的，能有效避免各种人脸伪造带来的身份冒用情况。
如此一来，网友们也算是稍稍松了一口气。不过还是要提醒大家，换脸有风险，玩耍需谨慎，毕竟大家都是“要脸的”。
