Oh no, Samsung's AI lab can create a video of you from a single still photo

But what if creating a digital clone didn't require all this work? They've animated Britney Spears, Neil Patrick Harris, Marilyn Monroe, even the Mona Lisa herself. Their system learns what the core geometry of someone's face looks like so it can apply that like a mask to someone else's face in a talking head-style video (like interviews or YouTube selfie monologues). Unlike Deepfakes, which uses a technique called a GAN (or generative adversarial network), in which one AI draws pictures in attempt to fool another AI until it gets really really good at forgery, Samsung's system starts by scanning landmarks on someone's face to understand how they will move about a frame. What it sees is a simple line drawing of a nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows, and a chin–the sketch looks like a Matisse portrait.
