Artificial intelligence can now 'bring' photos to life: sometimes it comes out creepy

Genealogy service MyHeritage has launched a new feature called "deep nostalgia" that allows users to upload a photo of a person and animate them. The edition told in more detail Techcrunch.

The Black Mirror-style feature of seeing long-lost relatives—or famous people from another era—is taken to a synthetic approximation of life: eyes move, faces tilt as if they're wondering why they're stuck in that useless digital photo frame. This has led to a relentless stream of shares on social media since she was unveiled.

Animate a photograph using deep nostalgia technology on the MyHeritage website is free, but you won't see the result until you agree to the terms and privacy policy. Both have raised a number of concerns in this company over the years.

Last year, for example, the Norwegian Consumer Council reported MyHeritage to national consumer and data authorities after a legal review of the terms showed that the contract it requires from customers is "incomprehensible."

In 2018, MyHeritage also suffered from a serious breach of user data that was sold on the darknet.

The company, which is being acquired by a US-based private equity firm for $ 600 million, undoubtedly relies on its new service to allay any concerns from individuals about data breaches.

Unlimited access to MyHeritage's “deep nostalgia” feature, as well as a range of other services such as photo enhancement, also requires a monthly fee (although the first few views are free).

The facial animation technology itself is impressive. The facial animation feature is supported by the Israeli company D-ID, which has pioneered digital face de-identification technology to protect images and videos from facial recognition technology.

Last year, the company released a demo video about the new photo-animation technology.

“The photo is displayed and then animated—causing the subject to move its head and face to mimic the movements,” D-ID said in a press release. “This technology can be implemented by historical organizations, museums and educational programs to bring famous figures to life.”

D-ID claims the platform is a "one-stop service" for synthesized video creation.

Other tools include a "face anonymity" feature, which replaces one person's face with a video with another's face (for example, for documentary filmmakers to protect the identity of the informant); and a “talking heads” feature that can be used to sync lips or replace having to pay actors to appear in content such as marketing videos, as it can superimpose an audio track over a video of a person who appears to be pronouncing those words.
