Tencent Cloud introduced its platform that produces high-definition digital people with only three minutes of video and 100 sentences.
Digital humans, virtual beings powered by artificial intelligence, can interact with humans and interpret input, as well as have images that resemble real people. Artificial intelligence is not just simple answers, It also enables them to produce appropriate verbal and non-verbal actions.
The ‘digital human platform’ announced by the Chinese technology giant Tencent Cloud is called Deepfakes-as-a-Service (DFaaS). According to Tencent, it only takes three minutes of video, 100 sentences, and more to create a high-definition digital human with this service. $145 requires a fee. The digital character creation process is only takes 24 hours.
What will be the characteristics and usage areas of digital people?
Tencent Cloud’s digital people are available in half body or full body and are available in both Chinese and English. It can be customized, as can some details such as the background and color tones. The robotic and unnatural way of speaking that we usually see in ‘digital people’ is left behind with the service of Tencent Cloud. The digital people produced on this platform speak and react in a very natural flow.
Chen Lei, General Manager of Intelligent Digital Human Products at Tencent Cloud, says the internet giant hopes to build an automated “Artificial intelligence + Digital Intelligent Human Factory”. This factory will be based on the Tencent Cloud TI platform, a machine learning platform that offers more than 10 artificial intelligence algorithms.
