IT Home reported on March 7 that according to Red Star News, a man recently successfully "resurrected" his deceased father through AI face swapping technology. In order to be more like his father, the man shaved his beard, recorded it with an AI face-swapping, and imitated his father's tone to report his safety to his grandmother.
In an interview, the man, surnamed Sun, talked about the story behind the "resurrection" of his deceased father with the help of AI. Mr. Sun said that after his father passed away in 2023 due to appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma, the whole family has been hiding from his sick grandmother, fearing that the elderly will not be able to accept it.
But Mr. Sun saw that his grandmother missed his father too much, and kept asking himself "if I can talk to my son", so he checked various information, and finally decided to use AI face swapping technology to "transplant" his father's face to his own face, and recorded a ** to report to his grandmother in his father's tone, so that she could feel at ease.
Inspired by the digital humans in science fiction movies, Mr. Sun decided to use AI face-swapping technology to record a video of his father greeting his grandmother through an AI ** software to comfort his grandmother and pretend that his father was still alive. Mr. Sun said that his grandmother was "finally relieved" after seeing this **. "Although I couldn't see my father, my grandmother thought that my father was still alive, and that was a good result. ”
Mr. Sun admitted that he had been in a state of collapse when he was shooting, and he needed to overcome huge psychological pressure, and he was emotionally broken and his eyes were tearful when he shot over and over again.
According to a previous report by IT House, ** Ren Bao Xiaobai also used a similar form to "resurrect" his deceased daughter, and made a "digital (digital) daughter" through AI technology, successfully reproducing the voice of his beloved daughter.
According to the ** "One Article" report, Zhang Zewei, a practitioner in the artificial intelligence industry, completed 653 orders within a year by customizing "AI digital humans" for ordinary people, with an average order ranging from a few thousand to 10,000 yuan. There are young people who want to have a digital clone of their idol, and there are also mothers who ask him to "resurrect" a child who died of cancer.
