Ai : Hunanity's greatest creation for Good and Bad. To secure ourself #zerotrustai In the journey, MS brings up VASA-1 will AI model which essentially spins a selfie image and turn it into a talking clip of you. All you have to do is upload a photo along with a voice note and let the AI model do the talking for you.
Animated avatars seem to have stepped up another notch. Alibaba’s Institute for Intelligent Computing have introduced “EMO,” an AI that animates photos into talking or singing videos with lifelike precision. Utilizing direct audio-to-video synthesis, EMO surpasses traditional methods, offering a new realm of expressive and realistic video generation. While promising for content creation, it also raises important ethical considerations particularly around fakes and image rights. #AI #Innovation #EthicsInTech #digitalinfluencer #digitalhumans #avatars https://lnkd.in/d7naWTEz
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay, and it can impact the creative industry in a multitude of ways. Some artists are excited by this prospect, while others worry that AI may be able to “out-do” them. Read our Data Scientist Zeynep Bicer's blog on this. 👉 Artificial Intelligence and Art: Pushing the Boundaries or Undermining Human Creativity? http://bit.ly/3T2XRnn #blog #artificialintelligence #AI #datascience #machinelearning #dataconsulting #blogpost #blogging
🌟The Future of Video Generation is Here!🌟 Attention all AI enthusiasts and creative minds! We've just stumbled upon a groundbreaking tool called Neural Frames, and let me tell you, it's mind-blowing! This AI animation generation platform is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of digital art and music videos. Imagine being able to bring your wildest visions to life with just a few words as input. Neural Frames uses an advanced artificial neural network, Stable Diffusion, trained on a staggering 2.7 billion images. With this powerful technology, it converts your prompts into mesmerizing motion content in real-time. But that's not all – Neural Frames is just the beginning of AI video generation. We're witnessing the dawn of a new era where the creative potential of AI knows no bounds. The future holds unimaginable possibilities for artists, musicians, and storytellers alike. With Neural Frames, you can effortlessly create stunning digital art and music videos that captivate and inspire. Whether you're into abstract masterpieces, hyper-realistic animations, or anything in between, this tool has got you covered. It's like having a digital audio workstation for video, revolutionizing the way we create visual experiences. Go check it out!

The very foundation of the creation of Media, Video, Sound, TV, Movies, and Games is shifting below our feet at a speed that most are not aware of! Check out the video clips in this article. "A small team of artificial intelligence researchers at the Institute for Intelligent Computing, Alibaba Group, demonstrates, via videos they created, a new AI app that can accept a single photograph of a person's face and a soundtrack of someone speaking or singing and use them to create an animated version of the person speaking or singing the voice track. The group has published a paper describing their work on the arXiv preprint server. Prior researchers have demonstrated AI applications that can process a photograph of a face and use it to create a semi-animated version. In this new effort, the team at Alibaba has taken this a step further by adding sound. And perhaps, just as importantly, they have done so without the use of 3D models or even facial landmarks. Instead, the team has used diffusion modeling based on training an AI on large datasets of audio or video files. In this instance, the team used approximately 250 hours of such data to create their app, which they call Emote Portrait Alive (EMO)." #ai #ml #dl #deepfakes
Vlogger is a generative #AI tool introduced by Google AI that can generate animated avatars from images. These videos give a photorealistic look, say of the person in the photo, in every frame of the generated video. https://lnkd.in/dCQzD8Eb #reda_elshuikhy

Microsoft’s latest AI model (VASA-1) can animate faces in photos bringing them to life. However, whilst there are many benefits to this innovation, it also sparks discussions and concerns about the potential impacts on media and misinformation. How do you think this tool will influence our perception of visual content authenticity?

As AI's capabilities increase, I like many others in the space, find regulation to be crucial in protecting people in all professions. I want to start a discussion, and invite you to comment on anything I've said here: especially if you disagree. This is a very early idea that will take work to formulate. I propose the concept of a 'Designated Responsibilitor(s)' as a component in the greater endeavor of AI regulation. Basically, for any work/service provided at the consumer level that is to be done in conjunction with AI, the output be required to have a real human or party of humans as cosigners attached to it. At a given unit of output, when signing a contract, and/or even at the end of an invoice it may look like "Cosigned by Jalen Gonel" or "Cosigned by the Sales Team at Bredcrums". I propose this as a method of regulation for any professional work. The extent of responsibility will differ depending on the industry and function (ie a Doctor who directly administers aid vs. a customer service representative who facilitates the policies of a multi-nation conglomerate), but the point would be to ensure authenticity in given work outputted. I believe it would incentivize a strong degree of due diligence, accountability for actions committed with malice intent, and overall promote greater safety in using experimental AI. One of my greatest concerns of the future is that individuals will use the benefits of this powerful technology without accountability and with anonymity. I think that for the level of power AI holds, that is a very dangerous world to live in. I would love your thoughts on this. #ai #regulation #chatgpt
6 AI Artists You Need to Follow, and What You Can Learn From Them #creativeTechnologist
Researchers at Alibaba‘s Institute for Intelligent Computing have developed a new artificial intelligence system called “EMO,” short for Emote Portrait Alive, that can animate a single portrait photo and generate videos of the person talking or singing in a remarkably lifelike fashion. The system, described in a research paper published on arXiv, is able to create fluid and expressive facial movements and head poses that closely match the nuances of a provided audio track. This represents a major advance in audio-driven talking head video generation, an area that has challenged AI researchers for years.
