'South Park' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone raise $20M for their deepfake company - SiliconANGLE

Deep Voodoo, an artificial intelligence entertainment startup founded by "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, revealed today that it has raised $20 million in funding to accelerate its development of deepfake technology, cost-effective visual effects services and synthetic media projects. Connect Ventures and New Enterprise Associates led the round. If you've never heard of Deep Voodoo before, you're not alone, but Parker and Stone are well-known. "South Park" debuted on the cable television channel Comedy Central in 1997 and is still going some 25 years later. Deep Voodoo has developed a synthetic media technology platform that uses artificial intelligence to support productions in ways that are faster and more cost-effective than existing visual effects technology.
