Zoom’s AI photorealistic avatars

Zoom announced a feature that will allow users to create custom, AI-animated, photorealistic avatars of themselves – their “digital twin”, that can send short messages to colleagues. To create their digital avatar, users will record a video of themselves talking, which Zoom’s AI will translate into a digital clone that mirrors their appearance and voice. They then write what they want their digital clone to say, and Zoom will generate audio that syncs with the avatar’s lip movements.
The avatars will be available early next year. In the future Zoom will allow employees to send their “digital twin” to meetings in their place.
