Human-like AI

Human-like AI refers to AI systems designed with human-like characteristics, including appearance, voice, personality, and emotional expression. According to the EU AI Act (2024), AI systems that mimic human identity without disclosure may be classified as manipulative AI. ISO 42001:2023 AI Management System standard requires enterprises to assess these risks during the design phase to prevent psychological manipulation. Unlike traditional AI, Human-like AI triggers human trust-building mechanisms, making it a critical subject for AI Ethics and Risk Management. The core risk lies in the illusion of intimacy, which can be exploited for deceptive purposes, requiring strict guardrails in deployment.

Enterprises should follow a three-step implementation framework: First, AI Risk Classification based on the EU AI Act's risk-based approach (Unacceptable, High, Limited, Minimal risk). Second, Transparency Measures—ensuring AI identity-disclosure as per EU AI Act Article 53. Third, Human-in-the-loop oversight to prevent AI hallucinations or ethical breaches. For example, a global retail firm implemented AI avatars for customer service, but only after setting strict boundaries on emotional engagement. This resulted in a 30% reduction in customer complaints regarding AI-driven misinformation and a 15% increase in trust-related KPIs within the first year.

Taiwan enterprises face three primary challenges: Regulatory uncertainty (as local AI Basic Law-related regulations are evolving), technical talent shortage (AI Ethics Specialists are rare), and consumer protection risks (potential violations of the Personal Data Protection Act). To overcome these, enterprises should: 1. Establish an AI Ethics Committee comprising legal, technical, and business stakeholders. 2. Adopt ISO 42001 AI Management System standards to provide a structured framework for risk-adjusted deployment. 3. Implement rigorous AI output-filtering technologies to prevent harmful content generation. The priority should be AI Risk Assessment, followed by transparency-focused UI/UX design within the first 90 days.
