Artificial intelligence will become increasingly more important in our lives in the years to come. While some are sounding alarm bells over the advancement in AI technology, others say that it will enable new experiences and technologies that will help us in the long term. AI’s abilities are vast and they’ve been showcased in a variety of different way. In this latest example, we find that Intel’s AI helped create a music video.
The promo clip for Chinese music star Chris Lee’s “Rainy Day, But We Are Together” was released online recently. Intel has now revealed that its artificial intelligence technology was used to create this music video. It’s the first music video to utilize Intel’s AI.
The producers of this video clip were able to create amazing special effects on the artist’s face by teaching a machine learning system to instantly reconstruct a face in 3D and also track its movements in real-time. It even tracked facial expressions.
This meant that the producers didn’t require Lee to wear tracking markers and the camera crew didn’t have to shoot in a specific way to achieve similar results. They simply captured the scenes as they wanted and left the special effects to the Ai.
This is a mere glimpse of how artificial intelligence can be used to create exciting video content in the future and we’re bound to see more of it down the line.
