TL;DR
- upon 60 minutesthe Google AI video generator was seen for the first time.
- This system does not generate humans. This is a limit set by Google itself.
- CEO Sundar Pichai wants the government to regulate AI even more.
Google is racing to catch up with its competitors in generative AI. Chat-GPT is far ahead of the game when it comes to his text-based AI generation, and Microsoft is building those powers into Bing. Image generators such as Midjourney are also leading the way. Google knows it needs to compete quickly, so it has a number of AI-based projects in its pipeline.
One of these projects is the Google AI Video Generator. The technology is similar to AI image generation, but currently has no market leader. If Google can get their system out there first, they might own the space.In the recent “overtime” corner 60 minutesGoogle gave a sneak peek of this new product.
Google AI video generator “Phenaki”
This Google AI video generator is currently known as “Phenaki”. This codename may be a reference to the phenakistiscope, the first popular device to create the fluid illusion of movement.according to 60 minutes In segments, Phenaki works much like current image generation systems. Enter a text prompt and the AI will create a short video clip (like a GIF) representing your prompt.
In the example we saw, Fenaki created a golden retriever with angel wings frolicking in a field. I could tell right away that the clip wasn’t real and looked like hand-drawn animation rather than something someone had captured on camera.
Interestingly, Google installed an artificial guardrail on Fenaki.the company confirmed 60 minutes That the Phenaki do not generate humans. This safety measure prevents the Google AI video generator from creating deep fakes.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai was also interviewed for this video. he said: 60 minutes Interviewer — He wants government regulation of fenaki and other AI-based technologies.Scott Perry 60 minutes Anker replies, “I don’t usually hear the CEO of a big company asking for government regulation.” “Anyone who has dealt with AI for a while knows that this is something very different, very profound, and that social regulation is needed to think about how to adapt,” Pichai said. You will notice,” he replies.
Unfortunately, this segment makes no mention of if or when Fenaki will be released to the public.
