TikTok parent company ByteDance unveils OmniHuman, an AI system that can generate realistic videos of people from just one picture.

In a black and white video, OmniHuman-1 shows the known scientist Albert Einstein talking in front of a blackboard performing hand gestures and showing facial expressions. ByteDance says it trained the new tool on more than 18,700 hours of human videos, combining it with various types of inputs like text, audio and physical poses.

Generative AI models for videos are among the best examples to appreciate this. In line with this, a new launch by a very popular company promises to make deepfake videos 10x better. ByteDance, does that name ring a bell?

ByteDance has come up with a generative AI framework that can create highly realistic videos of a human based on a single image and motion signal.
