Content generation is becoming increasingly simple, thanks to new systems based on artificial intelligence that make it possible to create not only images, but also entire videos in just a few seconds. VASA-1 is one of the latest AI models developed by Microsoft and which looks set to revolutionize the way videos are created and edited.
VASA-1 is capable of make good quality videos in just a few seconds, starting from a single photograph. Let’s find out how the platform developed by Microsoft works, what it can do and who can use it.
VASA-1, what the AI model can do for video generation
VASA-1 is a product developed by Microsoft to be highly competitive in the world of artificial intelligence. After the launch of ChatGPT, carried out by OpenAI, there are many the solutions and tools that have been created for content generation.
In particular, VASA-1 is able to generate video starting from a single image or an audio track and what it produces appears incredibly realistic, so much so that it is difficult to identify real videos and films created with artificial intelligence. The protagonists of the films are always human faces on which expressions are reproduced of the face, coherent movements of the lips and much more.
Microsoft wanted to underline this the ability of VASA-1 to reproduce facial expressions linked to emotions and natural movements of the body and face that can be admired in the videos created through this AI model.
The fields of application of VASA-1 and the possible dangers it could generate
The generated videos all have high resolution. The fields of application can be numerous: virtual characters can be created to be used in entertainment or for therapeutic purposes, in the field of education and wherever it may be useful.
There is no shortage, as can be easily imagined, of potential risks arising from the possibility of improper use of this instrument. Fake videos could be made with real characters that aim to spread misinformation and cause damage to image and trust.
Aware of these dangers, Microsoft has stated that it strongly opposes any misuse of this tool. For this reason, this technology is not yet available to a wide audience. The company has decided to take all the time necessary to develop security systems and to wait for the presence of regulations that can regulate the use of this type of AI models.
Regulations that are becoming increasingly necessary. Tools based on artificial intelligence are spreading rapidly and bring with them not only a large number of advantages, for example the simplification of some professional and daily activities, but also dangers that must be contained.
