Need more convincing that it will soon be Bebo Love (2021) BindasTimes Hindi Short Filmimpossible to tell whether a video of a person is real or fake? Enter Samsung's new research, in which a neural network can turn a still image into a disturbingly convincing video.
Researchers at the Samsung AI center in Moscow have achieved this, Motherboard reported Thursday, by training a "deep convolutional network" on a large number of videos showing talking heads, allowing it to identify certain facial features, and then using that knowledge to animate an image.
SEE ALSO: Deepfake your pet with a fun, not-at-all terrifying algorithmThe results, presented in a paper called "Few-Shot Adversarial Learning of Realistic Neural Talking Head Models," are not as good as some of the deepfake videos you've seen, but to create those, you need a large number of images of the person you're trying to animate. The advantage of Samsung's approach is that you can turn a single still image (though the fidelity of the resulting video increases with more images) into a video.
You can see some of the results of this research in the video, below. Using a single still image of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Salvador Dali, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe and even Mona Lisa, the AI was able to create videos of them talking which are realistic enough -- at moments -- to appear to be actual footage.
None of these videos will fool an expert, or anyone looking close enough. But as we've seen in previous research on AI-based generated imagery, the results tend to vastly improve in a matter of years.
The implications of this research are chilling. Armed with this tool, one only needs a single photo of a person (which are today easily obtainable for most people) to create a video of them talking. Add to that a tool that can use short snippets of sample audio material to create convincing, fake voice of a person, and one can get anyone to "say" anything. And with tools like Nvidia's GAN, one could even create a realistic-looking, fake setting for such a video. As these tools become more powerful and easier to obtain, it will become tougher to tell real videos from fake ones; hopefully, the tools to discern between the two will get more advanced as well.
