Ukraine Unveils Its First AI-generated Spokesperson | Vantage with Palki Sharma

what does it take to become a government spokesperson if you’re in Ukraine you don’t even have to be human welcome to the Future you would like you to meet Victoria my name is Victoria shei I was created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine with the use of AI technology in order to quickly and efficiently inform you about Consular issues I’m a digital person meaning the text you hear has not been read by a real person artificial intelligence did it she over clarified herself already but let’s explain this is Ukraine’s first digital spokesperson she looks human her likeness is based on a Ukrainian singer she gesticulates with her hands and moves her head while speaking so she seems almost real but she’s been created by artificial intelligence Her Image is AI generated the what she says will be written by humans so hopefully she won’t hallucinate during a press conference and turn into a viral Tik Tok but that aside what is her purpose Victoria will make official statements on behalf of the foreign Ministry of Ukraine the government says this will save them time and resources and some people can apparently relate to this sentiment like British singer FKA twigs she’s orchestrating the future as well several artists have repeatedly complained about AI about how it is being used to steal their likeness and EXP exploit their identity and livelihood now FKA twigs is changing the game as a future facing artist new technologies are an exciting tool that can be used to express deeper emotions create fantasy worlds and touch the hearts of many people so Twigs is creating a deep fake off herself this will be an AI generated image it will look like the singer it will be trained in her personality it will have her voice and tone of speaking and twigs will use the deep fake for public interaction mostly with fans and journalists so she can focus on her music basically Twigs has outsourced socializing she will be a legend among introverts now both the examples are completely different the first comes from a government the second from an artist but both have one thing in common humans are delegating work to AI avatars is this what the future looks like you see AI has become part of the fabric of Modern Life AI is writing essays powering your toothbrush and helping you snore lesser if you landed on Vantage after a Google search it is thanks to AI so it is still very exciting AI can be so good at things many fear it is going to snag their jobs but experts are not too worried they say that AI may never replace humans if we learn to do one thing Master the art of Delegation simply put this means figuring out what we need to do ourselves and what is best left to machines we need to delegate tasks to AI to stay ahead of the curve after all AI is already brilliant at that as well AI is delegating tasks to humans like a pro but worry not humans are catching up a K-pop Star has a digital twin that is never too busy to talk to fans influencers will soon join the club India China Greece Kuwait and Taiwan have lifelike AI anchors the mayor of big apple does not have his own avatar yet but he’s using AI to make robot phone calls The Voice deep fake has the mayor’s voice and tone and now New Yorkers are confused about why Eric Adams is talking to them in Mandarin and Giddish sounds incredibly funny but there are ethical concerns here how identical is to identical this raises questions about copyright and ownership also when is it appropriate for you to use AI Can employees use AI avatars for office meetings can you send an AI Avatar to your own court hearing that doesn’t sound right but if it were possible Donald Trump would be doing it also should governments be be using AI should influencers after all public figures have an unsaid responsibility they need to interact with the public remove that and you’ll be an influencer talking to a brick but worst of all what if something goes wrong what are the consequences and who takes the responsibility there are way too many questions not enough answers the fact is AI is just a tool and an imperfect one at that it is not human it lacks judgment it lacks a moral code it has limitations so delegating to AI will make tasks simpler but you must know its capabilities identify the boundaries and take responsibility once that is clear maybe an avatar can cancel plans on your behalf or laugh at your bad jokes the opportunities seem endless but first we must figure out where the boundary lies for

Ukraine Unveils Its First AI-generated Spokesperson | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Ukraine has unveiled its first AI-generated spokesperson. The digital model called Victoria will be Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson. Victoria’s image is AI-generated but her statements will be written by humans. Kyiv says the move will save resources and time of its diplomats. Some others are thinking along the same lines. British singer FKA Twigs is creating a deepfake of herself. Twigs will use the deepfake to interact with fans and journalists while she focuses on music. Humans are increasingly delegating work to AI avatars. After all, artificial intelligence is capable of simplifying complex tasks. But delegating work to artificial intelligence comes with ethical concerns. So where do we draw the line? Palki Sharma tells you.

  12. India govt should not invest that much money in AI cuz they already have access to cheaper version like palki mouthpiece of bjp masquerading as journalist.

  25. I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me.

  26. Even models and actors can be replaced by AI as it would be more cost effective.We may see a Bruce Lee or a Star Wars Films with an AI cast that is indistinguishable from the real thing and essentially ageless/immortal. Music artists too. Your child may grow up to marry an AI robot that is incredibly lifelike.

  27. No body can draw line becoz what we invent we lost ourselves into that there are so many issues where we must have to draw a line but we didn’t becoz we don’t like to draw a line , AI will be disastrous compare to its benefits
