This is a centuries old quote
Now AI-based , Deepfake is rewriting it to read :
“ Give everyone
thy face “
Current Practice :
Through their will, lots of people declare their wish
to “ donate “ their,
# Organs ( eg: Eyes – Kidneys – Heart etc ),
# after Death, and for
# Free
# for benefit of
( usually ) ONE
person
Future Practice :
By use of AI / Apps / Display devices ( Mobiles – Laptops
– PCs – TVs – Smart Watches – Eye wear etc ), many people will “ Sell “ their,
# Senses ( Sight
/ Eyes ) – ( Sound / Ears ) – ( Taste – Tongue ) – ( Smell –
Nose ) – ( Touch – Skin )
# while still Alive, and for
# micro payments each time someone “ uses “ one of their “ Sense “ to “ interact
“ with surroundings
# for augmenting
the lives of thousands
of persons, simultaneously

An
Advertising Company Wants Deepfake Clones of Your Face /

Do you want money ?
Of course you do.
Ø
If you possibly can tolerate a
level of ambiguity and moral grey zones, a start-up will purchase a
digital deepfake copy of your face by way of which synthetic
intelligence software will promote folks merchandise
and schooling providers, in response to a current report from MIT
Technology Review.
Ø
As of writing, the company has
roughly 100 composite “faces” lined up. And it desires so as to add yours.
Ø
“We’ve got a
queue of people that are dying to become these characters,” mentioned Hour One’s Strategy Lead Natalie Monbiot, within the report from MIT.
Ø
To be part of
the small military of brainless faces of the advertising and marketing world, deepfake
hopefuls can apply on the company’s web site, the place you possibly can submit your
Instagram profile, e mail ID , and your (actual) title. (niki@hourone.ai )
Ø
Naturally,
model-tier faces aren’t vital, since Hour
One desires to make use of a various repertoire of faces, of all ages, genders, and races.
Ø
If you get
picked, the agency will movie your face talking and contorting into a big
selection of facial expressions with a green-screen background and a high-res
digital camera. With footage in hand, the company will feed your likenesses into an AI
system, which can
build a composite character with which the company can promote whatever matter
it desires.
Ø
As of writing, Hour One develops AI-generated voices to match every video, which is not
overwhelmingly completely different from text-to-speech software that allows AI to talk no matter you write.
Ø
Presently, the
startup says it is working with greater than 40 shoppers, together with
companies from e-commerce, leisure, actual property, and digital well-being.
Ø
The AI startup
may supply shopper corporations an elite bundle the place it hires skilled
voice actors to face in on your composite face, and skim the gross sales
script.
Ø
One of Hour
One’s shoppers is Berlitz, a faculty for
worldwide language that generates teacher-led video programs on dozens of languages.
Ø
On the topic of
revenue margins alone, this can be a win-win for all concerned and a historic step within the application of AI software
capabilities within the non-public sector. But like each new technology, it has
a darkish aspect. Obviously, the AI startup has an ethics policy, however the language
describing character
security is surprisingly loose, made up of solely three bullet factors and an ambiguous
dedication to guard “your data assets with utmost security.” For an added
measure, the company will stamp each
artificial video of your digitized face with a watermark, affirming its synthetic origin.
But is it sufficient?
Ø “This looks like a fairly extreme case of technology
scaling back the human’s role in a particular work process,” mentioned Jessie
Hammerling ( jesshf@berkeley.edu
) of the Center for Labor
Research and Education on the University of California, Berkeley, within
the MIT report. This signifies that, whereas offering
an ideal composite “middle-man” for human interplay on visible platforms and
promoting, it is not solely the safety of the base-person’s facial id that
could possibly be at a better danger, but in addition the prospect of people who’re
used to the concept of constructing an in-person career in jobs which are
emulated to growing constancy by nascent deepfake and different AI
capabilities. And with out recourse to an alternate or common primary revenue,
there might come a day when important populations of actual human beings have
to go looking a lot more durable to earn a residing.
MY TAKE :
Ø
Without doubt, a number of
companies must be working on developing similar AI based apps to generate VIRTUAL
avatars which closely resemble you ( in “ sight
& sound “ to begin with – with other
senses to follow ) .
Ø
Whereas Hour One “ buys out “ the
rights from the SELLER of the “ faces “ , and earn revenue from its corporate
clients, it is only a matter of time before other developers just let you
download ( for free or for a small, one time payment ), an AI-based app which you
can use to “ create / generate “ dozens of your AVATARS and use these ( avatars
) , to interact with other real humans and represent you . I believe Neon.life
/ Oben.me / IKIN.inc etc are following this road
Ø
Some years ago, I had envisaged
such “ AVATAR – HUMAN “ interaction scenarios in my following blogs :
[ A
] Health-Care (
Psycho-Therapy Consultations / Counselling )
[ B
] Job Interview
It seems Hour One has
already implemented what I suggested
above !
Look up following video ( of a Virtual Interviewer ) on
its website :
