Artificial intelligence technologies, which develop every day, continue to surprise us. “What’s been on the agenda on social media lately”Animate everyone” is one of them. This model, which will scare us when sharing photos on the Internet, was developed by the artificial intelligence team of the Chinese technology giant Alibaba.

Animate everyone, to explain briefly can convert photos to video a model. As if deepfake photos weren’t enough, this artificial intelligence tool that could cause us to now see fake videos is literally ushering in an era for photo-to-video conversion technologies.

Animate Everyone has the opportunity to make a video with a single photo of you

Animate Anyone can create several-second videos from a single photo of a person. In the images shared, we can see that the videos captured by the model are eerily realistic.

Videos can be made not only from human photos, but also from photos such as anime characters.

The model, described in a study published in arXiv, is used not only in human images, but also cartoon, anime characters It can also convert various images, such as video, to video. Developers at Alibaba have also opened a Github page for Animate Everyone.

The model, which has some flaws, is not yet ready for wide release

Looking at the videos, we see that the people in the photos are not experiencing any major decline. In one video the anime character comes to life and in the other Lionel Messi starts moving. Of course, since it produces short videos, it can even be used to create fake TikTok videos.

But Animate Everyone isn’t perfect, as you might expect. Just like other productive models in hands and eyes has problems. Or it may be difficult when necessary to perform actions such as rotating videos, which produces strange images. The developers already emphasize that it is not completely ready yet. Still, we can say that it is a significant leap forward for such technologies.

According to the Alibaba team, Animate Everyone is not yet ready to be shared with the world. The team said in a statement on Github:We are actively working to prepare the demo and code for public release. We cannot provide an exact release date for the time being..” say.

We should not forget the risks that such technology entails.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that this kind of technology will cause some concerns. While deepfake photos are already causing major problems, allowing fake videos to circulate on the internet will not lead to good results.

The possibility that a malicious actor can make that person do whatever he wants with just a single photo is very frightening. Hopefully a solution will be found when this technology becomes widely available. However, it is certain that social media will be flooded with fake TikTok videos created by artificial intelligence much sooner than we expect.
