Nvidia’s New AI Creates Disturbingly Convincing Fake Videos

Anyone worried about the ability of artificial intelligences (AI) to mimic reality is likely to be concerned by Nvidia’s latest offering: an image translation AI that will almost certainly have you second-guessing everything you see online.

In October, Nvidia demonstrated the ability of one of their AIs to generate disturbingly realistic images of completely fake people. Now, the tech company has produced one that can generate fake videos.

The AI does a surprisingly decent job of changing day into night, winter into summer, and house cats into cheetahs (and vice versa). Best (or worst?) of all, the AI does it all with much less training than existing systems.
