MailOnline has tried out'AI Time Machine', an online tool that can transform you into a Viking, a Greek warrior, an Egyptian pharaoh or even a 1960s hippy. The new feature from MyHeritage reimagines any adult as if they were from another historical era, simply using a small sample of uploaded photos. The science team fed photos of James Corden, Piers Morgan and Drew Barrymore into the tool – and got some rather hilarious results. Corden looks well-groomed and ready for battle in his Viking clobber, while Morgan makes a real mean-looking bandit from the Wild West. Piers Morgan appears here as a Roman empire legionary.

Genealogy website MyHeritage has released'AI Time Machine', an online tool that can reimagine you as if you were from another historical era. The new AI tool, available on desktop and mobile web browser, turns personal photos from your phone or computer into'hyper-realistic' images. Anyone can see themselves as an ancient Greek warrior, an Egyptian pharaoh, a medieval knight, a Victorian lady, a hippie from the 1960s and much more. Here, AI Time Machine user'Nathan' appears reimagined as an Egyptian pharaoh, a Viking, a Roman army general and more.

Last year, genealogy service MyHeritage went viral after introducing a new "deepfake" feature that allowed users to animate the faces of loved ones in still photos. TikTok users posted videos reacting to the technology, called "Deep Nostalgia," as they brought back relatives they never got to meet or those whose loss they still grieved. To date, more than 100 million photos have been animated with the feature. Now comes the next iteration. Today, MyHeritage along with technology partner D-ID is expanding upon "Deep Nostalgia," with the launch of "LiveStory," a feature that doesn't just bring the people in photos to life with movement, but actually has them speak.

The start of a new year implies one thing: new and exciting aesthetic photography trends to embrace. Even the quickest telephoto lenses can't keep up with the fast-paced world of photography. However, it's also an exciting period for photographers, and it's set to get even more interesting to experience the photography trends in 2022. This year has delivered some ground-breaking equipment that continues to alter both cameras and photography, whether users shoot with a smartphone, film camera, or mirrorless powerhouse; these trends are sought to be seen in 2022. Desktop photo editors like Photoshop and Luminar AI are trying to outdo one other with new AI tactics, similar to the computational photography battles being conducted between smartphones.

Job automation, algorithmic bias, and technological development are the first thoughts that spring to mind when we think of Artificial Intelligence. But at the same time, AI can be used in many fun and interesting ways. Here, we discuss ten fun AI tools that you must try out. Besides being a great way to kill boredom, they demonstrate how advanced AI has already become. Semantris is one of the many Google-powered AI experiments.

It's hard to explain the mix of emotions that spark upon seeing a photo of Frederick Douglass come alive with the click of a button. And yet, there he is, blinking and nodding as if he were just alive yesterday, as if he hadn't died in 1895, years before film recording became commonplace. His animated image and others like it -- at the same time unsettling, emotional, and a bit fantastical, are made possible by Deep Nostalgia, an artificial intelligence program from the genealogy platform MyHeritage. As far as AI-animated images go, the technology behind these Harry Potter-esque photos isn't particularly complex. Users are invited to supply old photos of their loved ones, and the program uses deep learning to apply predetermined movements to their facial features.

US researchers have created a photo colourising tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create eerily lifelike images of deceased historical figures.

CNN – Like a scene from Harry Potter -- new technology can now animate old pictures to move and show emotion. The genealogy platform MyHeritage created an artificial intelligence program called Deep Nostalgia. Users can see people like Frederick Douglass come alive with the click of a button. He blinks and nods as if he were just alive yesterday and hadn't died in 1895, years before film recording became commonplace. Users can to supply old photos of their loved ones, and the program uses deep learning to apply predetermined movements to their facial features.

Photographs bring history to life, but one service offers a new take on the concept. MyHeritage--a company focused on DNA testing and helping discover their family history--has developed what they call Deep Nostalgia, which uses AI to animate photos of people from the past. Black and white portraits now look like video footage as the subjects shift their glances and blink their eyes. The results are mesmerizing while being a bit unsettling as we don't expect these old pictures to suddenly come alive. So, how does this incredible service work?

If you've ever wanted to know what it might be like to see Kim Jong-un let loose at karaoke, your wish has been granted, thanks to an app that lets users turn photographs of anyone – or anything remotely resembling a face – into uncanny AI-powered videos of them lip syncing famous songs. The app is called Wombo AI, and while the future of artificial intelligence and the ability to make fake videos of real people strikes fear into the hearts of many experts, some say that Wombo could help by raising awareness of "deepfakes". Wombo CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin said he came up with the idea "while smoking a joint with my roommate on the roof". The app launched in Canada in February and has since been downloaded on Apple's App store and Google Play more than 2m times. There are 15 songs users can choose from, including Michael Jackson's Thriller and the more recent Gunther's Ding Dong Song.
