women are scared. The prevalence of ultra-thin celebrities signals a slide back into a world where 1990s heroin chic is aspirational again and, thanks to weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, easier to attain.....It is a tonal shift from the mid-2010s, when the body positivity movement celebrated all sizes.

The idea that women’s bodies are not up for evaluation was a reaction to the cruel and misogynistic 2000s-era tabloid discussion of celebrity figures. In the body positivity years, it crystallised into a blanket prohibition against talking about women’s weight. In short, a woman’s body is nobody’s business but her own.

global scrutiny over the use of artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry.

In China, the AI-generated microdrama The Peach Blossom Hairpin (2026) was recently taken down after models and influencers accused its creators of using their facial features and outfits without consent.

In 2025, in response to growing concerns over digital fraud, Chinese regulators mandated that all AI-generated content carry explicit labels and digital watermarks.

Similarly, in the United States, entertainment guilds like the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA have established strict industry rules to protect creators’ jobs and likenesses.

Qn: To what extent should governments regulate the development and use of artificial intelligence? (NYJC Prelim 2025)
