Read time: 2.5 minutes

Welcome back, superhuman

Some days in AI feel like they’re straight out of a sci-fi movie, as we inch ever so close to AI producing digital clones that look and sound just like us.

Google also made a couple of major announcements that are sure to save you some time and make your life a lot easier. Let’s get right to it.

THE BIG INSIGHT

Lifelike AI-generated clone avatars are here

Imagine you send your digital clone to attend a Zoom meeting on your behalf. Or maybe you create a thousand videos of a person that looks and sounds just like you with the click of a button.

Well, it looks like you won’t have to imagine those scenarios much longer as lifelike AI-powered avatar generation tools are only days out from being publicly available.

In a recent demo from CEO of HeyGen Joshua Xu, you can see an AI-generated video of him that looks absolutely flawless:

Here’s another video if you’re interested in seeing more samples.

Xu said that it only took 2 minutes of video to train the model enough to produce the video. He also said that he’ll be releasing the app soon. Here’s the waitlist if you’re interested.

Many folks will naturally have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, content creation and marketing just became 10x easier. But at the same time, it’s about to become a lot harder to tell what’s real and what isn’t.

Incredible or creepy? My guess is that it’s likely going to be some combination of both.

GOVERNANCE AND POLICY

RESEARCH

AI is building highly effective antibodies that humans can’t even imagine

LabGenius, a company based in South London, is using AI and machine learning to automate the process of engineering new medical antibodies. The company's machine learning algorithm designs antibodies to target specific diseases, and then automated robotic systems build and grow them in the lab, run tests, and feed the data back into the algorithm. This approach allows for the exploration of a vast search space of potential antibodies more quickly and effectively than humans can. LabGenius has raised $28 million and is partnering with pharmaceutical companies to offer its services. Read more → (requires Wired subscription)
