Character.AI, this month, unveiled, in closed beta, its video generation model, called ‘AvatarFX, intended for animating characters in human-like mode and 2D cartoons.
With AvatarFX, users can generate and animate videos from preexisting photos of real people.
To avoid deepfakes, Character.AI will apply watermarks to videos generated by AvatarFX.
The company added that its AI will block the generation of videos of minors, recognizable celebrities, and politicians.
