AI Tool Animates Old Photos, Takes Social Media By Storm - Zenger News

When Krish Ashok, a technologist and food science enthusiast based out of Chennai, shared pictures of his father and great-grandmother, animated through a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool with the senior members in his family, they were deeply moved. "They were shaken by what they saw," Ashok told Zenger News. Deep Nostalgia, which animates old photos, is the latest AI tool that has taken the Internet by storm. But, it has also sparked a conversation about the ethical implications of such tools -- and not everyone is comfortable with it. The video reenactment technology's web-based version was overrun by eager users within a week of its launch on Feb. 25, and the site had to undergo maintenance to keep up.
