Researchers at Samsung's AI Center in Moscow have developed a new system that can transform facial images into videos with speech expressions.
According with a study, the system creates realistic virtual speaking faces through an application that edits the face of the target person from a still photo. The AI application can control the way a face moves to appear realistic Results.
“This ability will have practical applications in remote monitoring, in some teleconferences, in multiplayer games as well as in the special effects industry," Samsung said.
Technology "deepfake” is nothing new, but Samsung's new system doesn't use 3D models and only requires a photo of a face to create a new model of a face that moves and talks.
If the app is able to use 32 images to create a model, it will be able to “achieve [a] perfect realism and a very good personalization,” according to company.
The ability to create a "deepfake" video with a limited number of downloads is due to the fact that the system has a large database of videos of talking people, according to Samsung. Using this database, combined with images of target persons, the system is able to create several realistic models of the same person.
So-called "deepfake" videos are now a major concern for U.S. lawmakers, who are worried that AI that manages human videos could create scenes that say things that have not been said, depending on the creator's mood.
Imagine what applications the new AI technology can have, in the case of fake news.
