A model has been created by computer scientist Supasorn Suwajanakorn that allows for the generation of real-life replicas of any human being – dead or alive. The technology uses existing photos or videos to sew together a 3D model of their face. The more content provided allows for a better reconstruction, but it can be achieved with only a few. Video footage shows how the technology will allow for people to speak to their passed loved ones, or even create inspiring speeches from well-known authors and
lecturers. Supasorn demonstrates the brilliance of his model with a public statement from George W Bush recited by the likes of Daniel Craig, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The unique feature of the artificial intelligence is its ability to mimic the small mannerisms of a person, such as frowns and wrinkles, by breaking each part of the face down into individually controllable segments.
