Realtime AI Deepfake Avatar: Too Real to Believe

In the video titled ‘This Realtime AI Deepfake Avatar is way too real,’ the channel AI Search introduces Neural Parametric Gaussian Avatars (NPGA), a new AI technology for generating highly realistic and high-fidelity avatars. The video showcases the impressive capabilities of NPGA, demonstrating how it can accurately replicate facial expressions, teeth, and hair with high resolution and temporal consistency. The technology outperforms previous methods, such as Microsoft’s Vasa 1 and Alibaba’s Emote Portrait Live, particularly in handling complex facial features and expressions. The video explains the technical aspects of NPGA, including the use of neural parametric head models, 3D Gaussian splatting, and latent features to achieve realistic animations. It also discusses potential applications and implications of this technology, such as its use in virtual meetings, augmented reality, and the metaverse, as well as the risks of misuse for scams and fraudulent activities. The video highlights the rapid advancement in AI-generated avatars and the potential future developments in this field.
