Recently, AI has become more sophisticated and, as the Zao app shows, more accessible.Īlso read: Three things to know about the future of artificial intelligence, by the Frenchman Yann LeCun, his manager at Facebook The technology called “deepfake” uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze a person’s face and then associate it with another person’s video. The results are surprisingly convincing and unexpected.

It is enough for users to upload a single image of their face, and the application automatically glues it to video clips selected for them. The application is currently only available to people who have a Chinese phone number, and is not listed in the App Store or Play Store in France or the United States.Ĭreated by the Chinese developer MoMo, the Zao application allows users to transpose their face on a wide range of actors, singers, and even video game characters. On Monday, September 2, Zao remained at the top of the App Store in China, according to App Annie.
