AI can now manipulate people's movements in fake videos

There are already fake videos on the internet, manipulated to make it look like people said things (or appeared in porn) that they never did. And now they're about to get way better, thanks to some new tools powered by artificial intelligence. Instead of just moving a source video's lips and face, an artificial intelligence-powered system can create photorealistic videos in which people can sway, turn their heads, blink their eyes, and emote. Basically, everything that an actor does and says in an input video will be translated into the video being altered. According to the research, which will be presented at the VR filmmaking conference SIGGRAPH in August, the team ran a number of tests comparing its new algorithm to existing means of manipulating lifelike videos and images, many of which have been at least partially developed by Facebook and Google.
