ByteDance Denies Claims That Hengdian Extras’ Data Will Train Its AI Models

ByteDance denied claims that it and Hengdian would use 150,000 extras’ likenesses and voices to train its AI models, while the Hengdian film and television AI service platform project remains at the bidding stage. Liu Xing, ByteDance Doubao’s head of public relations, called the online claims “seriously false” on Weibo. He said Volcano Engine is providing only technical support, all data assets belong to Hengdian or the parties granting authorization, and use of anyone’s likeness or voice requires that person’s authorization. Liu also said no unauthorized collection was taking place and that data collected for the project would not be used to train ByteDance models.
