Synthetic Media and the Dubbing Industry

#ArtificialIntelligence enables us create realistic videos from simple prompts and to generate pictures just by typing a short text. Plus, synthetic media and #deepfake technology?help to adjust (and produce) video and audio content using machine learning technologies.

Nowadays, producing media is not only a physical process. Digital technologies can create content in completely new ways.

What is Synthetic Media?

Synthetic media is an?AI-generated or AI-modified content. How does it work? Just like any AI tech. Machine learning models recognise and analyse patterns of input data and learn to perform tasks based on these data, without human intervention.?

Synthetic media includes video, image, text, or voice that has been fully or partially generated by artificial intelligence algorithms. As a form of?synthetic media, deepfakes?can?make it seem like someone did or said something they never did or said. This can be really useful for the dubbing industry.

Artificial Intelligence and the Dubbing Industry

Dubbing a film is a complex and time-consuming task. It involves many professionals and requires a high level of accuracy. AI can help improve and speed up the process.

Artificial intelligence can solve many problems associated with dubbing.?For example, one of the major flaws of traditional dubbing is lip sync. Some AI technologies can replace the original voices as well as edit an actor's lips with deepfake-generated lips. Therefore, lip sync won't be a problem anymore.

Some concerns about AI dubbing

Dubbing?with?AI?has proven to be faster and consistent. It provides authentic results but it also presents some ethical problems.

Many voice actors and actresses are worried about copyright issues. However, if AI dubbing is used by responsible companies and editors, original speakers should always give their written permission to use their voices. This technology is a great tool, but it must be taken seriously.

To prevent these issues, there are some synthetic voices which can be used. Deepfake voices are computer-generated speech, typically achieved with artificial intelligence and deep learning. In the past, AI could not generate authentic-sounding voices but as technology has developed, that has changed.?You can now create a custom artificial voice!

Conclusion

AI/deepfake dubbing technology?helps to reduce time and effort. It eliminates nearly every difficulty introduced by the original approach. At the same time, it doesn't create new problems.

So, even though there are some concerns about this technology, we can expect it to improve the dubbing process.
