NetEase Cloud Music's AI Ad Shows Scary Visuals; Involved Parties Have Taken It Down for Rectification

Recently, netizens complained that the AI ad of NetEase Cloud Music, which popped up when pausing videos on iQIYI, contained scary visuals—"the neck twisted to the back"—drawing attention.

NetEase Cloud Music responded that upon verification, the issue arose from the partner platform making unauthorized AI-based secondary edits to the ad materials. It has demanded the platform immediately take down the problematic materials and conduct rectification.

iQIYI later stated that the ad had a limited reach and has already been removed. It will optimize its review process to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Reportedly, NetEase Cloud Music announced full integration with OpenClaw in March this year, becoming the first industry platform to open its core music service capabilities to AI Agents.
