• Zuckerberg’s Meta has developed an AI that can produce videos using straightforward language instructions.
• Make-A-Video system “understands motion in the actual environment and applies it to traditional text-to-image generation”.
• The tech behemoth has not yet specified when the tool would be accessible to the general public.

According to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the company has developed an AI that can produce videos using straightforward language instructions. This AI has been used to establish a new tool for producing art.

The CEO described the tool’s outcomes as “quite outstanding” and highly impressive.

The artificial intelligence in the Make-A-Video system “understands motion in the actual environment and applies it to traditional text-to-image generation,” using already-existing images.

In a statement, Zuckerberg added, “You give it a text description, and it makes a movie for you.”

In the past, it has been particularly challenging to create video since the AI must not only create pixels but also anticipate how they will change over time.

By including “unsupervised learning” as a feature, this issue is resolved.

The tech behemoth has not yet specified when the tool would be accessible to the general public or whether there will be requirements such as joining up for the system or subscribing.

The business did promise to shortly release demos.

There are always moral quandaries surrounding AI given the potential for its abuse in disinformation and deep fakes.

Meta proposed adding a watermark to the videos produced by Make-A-Video as a fix.

To make sure that each step of release is safe and deliberate, Meta added, “for the time being we will continue to evaluate, test, and try Make-A-Video.”
