The office just got a little more interesting—a corporate spin on a technology commonly known as deepfakes is being used to spice up routine office emails and presentations.

The cloning process is painless: The subject sits in front of a camera for about 40 minutes, reading a special script. The footage and audio provides Synthesia’s algorithms with enough examples of a person’s facial movements and how they pronounce different phonemes to mimic their appearance and voice. After that, generating a video of a person’s ARI is as easy as typing out what they should say. The technology can display different backgrounds.

Like all Synthesia clients, EY is required to get a person’s consent before making a digital version of them. The accounting firm says access to the ARI-creation tools is carefully controlled to prevent unauthorized or ill-considered use. “When you have a technology presenting a human-like appearance, it’s a fine line from comforting to eerie,” Woolley says. Her research suggests that rushing to embrace video can sometimes be a mistake. There is evidence that video calls can make it more difficult to communicate or solve problems, because visuals can distract from the content of a conversation.

The US Needs to Get Back in the Business of Making ChipsSupply disruptions caused by the pandemic and an intensifying technology rivalry with China are prompting industry executives and policymakers to say the US must actually make, not just design, chips. (From 2021) And EU... Tell this to apple!!! No shit, the selfish “elites” in western countries have been selling out our security & prosperity to shareholders & foreigners for decades. They have failed the people, & need to be investigated. If war happens, their families should be sent to front lines!
