Meta’s “Movie Gen” AI system makes deepfake video easier
Meta announced a preview of its new suite of AI model designed to create and manipulate video, Movie Gen, including creating a realistic video from a single photo of a person. The company claims the models outperform other rivals when evaluated by humans, pushing us closer to a future where anyone can synthesize a full video of any subject on demand.
A Movie Gen deepfake video with the prompt: "A woman is sitting on the grass of a pumpkin patch. She is wearing a scarf and holding a cup. The background is filled with rows of pumpkins." The source photo is in the upper right corner.
Meta calls one of the key features of Movie Gen "Personalized Video Creation," another name for it: deepfakes. Deepfake technology has raised alarm because it could be used to simulate authentic camera footage, making people appear to do things they didn't actually do.
