AI Blackface Videos Circulating on WeChat: An Archive

This video documents a growing trend on Chinese social platforms where AI tools and digital filters are used to exaggerate African features in ways that resemble blackface caricature.

The purpose of this channel is to raise awareness, provide context, and create an accessible archive for researchers, journalists, and anyone interested in understanding how AI‑generated media can be used to dehumanise or mock marginalised groups.
