@Bilal Sadoo : 在数字分身的世界里,人类的意义是什么?我们是否正在走向一个人类与AI难以区分的未来?这引发了关于身份、真实性和人际互动本质的深刻问题。 @Victor Riparbelli : 我认为我们发明的每一种交流技术都在某种程度上抽象化了现实。我们一直在努力使这些技术尽可能接近现实生活中的体验,最终目标是复制与人交谈的实际人类体验。数字人类的出现,意味着我们可以创造出非常接近人类生命的东西,这不仅仅是技术上的进步,更是对人类本质的重新定义。当我们与这些数字人类互动时,我们会发现自己难以区分它们与真人,这挑战了我们对机器和人关系的固有认知。我坚信在12个月内,我们就可以创造出可以模拟Zoom通话的数字分身,甚至可以发送一封数字情书,让对方相信这实际上是你写的。未来,这些数字分身将能够预测正确的肢体语言、面部表情和手势,并以高质量的声音表达深厚的情感。

Shownotes Transcript

As AI technology advances, it’s becoming harder and harder to distinguish between work done by humans and work done by computers. But is AI becoming more human, or are we becoming more digital? Synthesia is a video platform that uses AI to generate lifelike video avatars, further blurring the lines between humans and their digitized lookalikes. In this episode, Bilawal sits down with Synthesia’s CEO, Victor Riparbelli, to discuss the benefits of having your own AI avatar, how companies are using this tool to improve communication, and why media literacy is more important than ever in a world of ever-thinning lines between real and fake. They dissect the risks that come with making this technology available to the public, the strict rules Synthesia has in place to protect their users, and question the ethics of having a digital clone. Tune in to see if you’ll be sending your own AI avatar to your boring meetings in the near future.
