How to create high-quality videos with AI in less than 30 seconds

Turning words into videos would sound like something out of a science fiction novel 12 months ago, but we’ve hit a point with AI video models where we can reliably produce high-quality short videos in just a few seconds.

Here’s how to create your own AI-generated video right now:

• Go to Pika’s website. Pika is arguably the best AI video model today.

• Log in with your Gmail account or create a new account.

• Describe what you want to create in a text prompt.

• Pika will take a few seconds to process your video.

• You can download, edit or upscale your video easily.

For the example above, I used the following prompt:

RESEARCH

AI developed by Stanford students can guess the location of a picture with startling accuracy

Keeping your personal information safe on the internet is getting harder by the day. A new AI developed by Stanford students called Predicting Image Geolocations (PIGEON) does exactly what the name says.

The project was originally designed to find the location of photos using Google Street View. However, when shown pictures it had never seen before, the AI was still able to guess the correct location a majority of the time.

According to the research paper, the AI guessed the right country 92% of the time and could pinpoint a location within 25km of the target location in over 40% of instances.

While this tech could have valuable use cases such as finding locations where historic photos were taken, the AI’s ability to guess location with such high accuracy means that safe social media practices such as hiding your house number or street name may no longer be sufficient.

You can find the paper here.
