Although AI-generated content isn’t entirely reliable, there is no doubt that the technology is being used widely in several sectors, especially in the development of image-enhancing tools. Now, a genealogy platform called MyHeritage has debuted a new AI tool that allows users to create realistic animated videos from their ancestors’ photos, which will tell their life stories.
The AI-based LiveStory tool was recently added to MyHeritage’s official platform and lets users upload a portrait image of their ancestors to create a life-story video in which their ancestor tells the story of their lives themselves. Even though that sounds creepy, the LiveStory tool can give the stories of your ancestors a personalized touch.
The LiveStory tool uses a deep learning model, developed by an AI-based company named D-ID, which was licensed to MyHeritage. It adds realistic animations that are perfectly synced with the generated audio to the image to make it seem like your ancestor is telling their story with their own mouth.
The videos you create will be yours to keep. Check out the video of the legendary Abraham Lincoln, which I created attached below. You can also edit your LiveStory after creating them.
