Use of AI-generated Characters for Different Fields
To boost the potential of the technology, the researchers at MIT Media Lab and their colleagues at the University of California at Santa Barbara and Osaka University have built an open-source, convenient character generation pipeline that integrates AI models for facial gestures, voice, and motion. It can be used to create a variety of audio and video outputs.
The pipeline also connects the resulting production to a traceable, comprehensible watermark to differentiate it from original video content, and to demonstrate how it was created.
The technology itself suggests a way for instruction to be customized for your interest, context, idols, and possibility for change over time.
