Meta has announced its new AI model, Movie Gen, capable of generating realistic video and audio clips based on user prompts. The tool can create 16-second videos with synced sound effects and background music. Samples showcase videos of animals and people using real photos to depict various actions.
The announcement comes amid Hollywood’s exploration of generative AI technologies, following OpenAI’s recent demonstrations. While Meta is focusing on collaborations with content creators, it has no plans to release Movie Gen for public use, citing concerns about risks associated with AI models. The company utilized a mix of licensed and publicly available data for development.
As the industry grapples with the implications of generative AI, including copyright and deepfake concerns, Meta continues to engage with the entertainment sector to integrate Movie Gen into its products next year.
