🤖 London-based AI start-up Synthesia has made significant strides in synthetic media by introducing lifelike avatars capable of conveying human emotions. These “expressive avatars” respond to user text prompts, showcasing a range of feelings—from happiness to frustration. Unlike mere deepfakes, Synthesia’s avatars are trained on real-life actors’ movements, captured in front of green screens. The company aims to revolutionize video production, eliminating the need for actors, lengthy edits, and cameras. Already used by 55,000 businesses for corporate presentations, these avatars enhance communication in marketing campaigns, training modules, and make content more accessible to diverse audiences. To prevent misuse, Synthesia employs a Know Your Client process and advocates for watermarking to combat fake content. In a world where technology blurs the lines between real and synthetic, Synthesia’s expressive avatars bridge the gap, adding a touch of humanity to the digital realm. 🤖😊
