Meta’s new “Movie Gen” AI system can deepfake video from a single photo


A future where realistic video fakes are easy and plentiful seems inevitable.

The company does not yet have plans of when or how it will release these capabilities to the public, but Meta says Movie Gen is a tool that may allow people to "enhance their inherent creativity" rather than replace human artists and animators. The company envisions future applications such as easily creating and editing "day in the life" videos for social media platforms or generating personalized animated birthday greetings. In this case, creating a deepfake with Movie Gen appears as easy as providing a single input image of a person, along with a text prompt that describes what you want them to do or where you want them to be in the resulting video.
