New Delhi: Microsoft has announced a new AI model that can turn images of people into videos of them talking. VASA-1 is an AI model that generates lifelike conversational faces for virtual characters with engaging visual affective skills (VAS).
Microsoft says VASA-1 “not only produces lip movements that are exquisitely synchronized with speech, but also captures a wide range of facial nuances and natural head movements that contribute to the perception of authenticity and lifelike sensations.” I can do it too,” he said.
An AI-generated video of Mona Lisa singing Anne Hathaway's “Paparazzi” has been released online. The video says, “Microsoft has dropped its VASA-1, an AI that can expressively make a single image sing or speak from an audio reference.”

Yet another pointed out: “Great demo!” But soon, people will have a hard time distinguishing between real and fake people just by watching video content. This will result in a huge amount of scams and scams on the internet. ”
Microsoft said it “does not plan to release online demos, APIs, products, additional implementation details, or related products until we are certain that the technology is used responsibly and in accordance with appropriate regulations.”
