As AI technology advances, it’s becoming harder and harder to distinguish between work done by humans and work done by computers. But is AI becoming more human, or are we becoming more digital? Synthesia is a video platform that uses AI to generate lifelike video avatars, further blurring the lines between humans and their digitized lookalikes. In this episode, Bilawal sits down with Synthesia’s CEO, Victor Riparbelli, to discuss the benefits of having your own AI avatar, how companies are using this tool to improve communication, and why media literacy is more important than ever in a world of ever-thinning lines between real and fake. They dissect the risks that come with making this technology available to the public, the strict rules Synthesia has in place to protect their users, and question the ethics of having a digital clone. Tune in to see if you’ll be sending your own AI avatar to your boring meetings in the near future.
As artificial intelligence technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the boundaries between human-generated content and computer-generated content are becoming increasingly indistinguishable. This fascinating development raises a profound question: Is artificial intelligence truly becoming more human-like in its capabilities, or are we as a society gradually becoming more digitized in our interactions and existence? Synthesia, an innovative video platform at the forefront of this technological revolution, harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to generate remarkably lifelike video avatars, further dissolving the traditional distinctions between humans and their digital counterparts.
In this thought-provoking episode, Bilawal engages in an in-depth conversation with Victor Riparbelli, the visionary CEO of Synthesia, to explore the multifaceted implications of having your own AI avatar.
