Microsoft is determined to make sure that the development of artificial intelligence moves forward by leaps and bounds. No wonder it has invested billions of dollars in the development of OpenAI to gain a leading position in this field. Recently, Microsoft has presented a new model of artificial intelligence that has caused many people to be concerned.

VASA-1 is a new AI-based framework that makes photos talk, perfectly imitating the human face.

What the developers say about it

VASA-1 uses artificial intelligence to reproduce the movements of human lips in a photo and synchronise them with sound. At the same time, the image does not look robotic. The programme is designed to repeat facial expressions and head movements.

The developers assure that this new model is many times better than its predecessors, as it creates the most realistic image that can communicate in real time. The new VASA-1 software supports online video generation with a resolution of 512×512 at up to 40 frames per second.

Microsoft understands that the new technology can be a terrible weapon in the hands of attackers. However, the advantages offered by the new technology are much greater than the disadvantages.
