The vision of completing Zoom’s meetings has almost arrived. On Wednesday Announced application for video conference That you will soon be able to create a “photorealistic” avatar yourself in case you are not “ready for the camera”. This means that your AI avatar may seem refined if you just crawled out of bed.
Zoom plans to launch this function of users at the workplace in December, enabling the generation of AI appearance based on your photo that you send or intercepts directly in the application. When Zoom generates your avatar, you will be able to “dress” it in various professional costumes. He will follow your movement during a meeting during a conversation or moving around the screen in real life.
While Zoom began to allow users to provide pre -recorded messages with Avatar AI last year, it goes even more, allowing posing as an AI clone at meetings. During an interview at Decoder In June 2024, the General Director of Zoom Eric Yuan suggested a future in which everyone has a “digital twin” or an AI agent, who uses your similarity to perform tasks and making decisions on your behalf, such as participation in meetings and automatically responding to E -Maile. Zoom may not be there yet, but it is approaching.
Zoom plans to introduce some security with the function of photorealistic avatars, which means that you should not be able to participate in your meetings as Keanu Reeves. Smeit Hashim, Zoom product director, says The Verge That the platform will exploit “live authentication” to make sure you are a person in the picture you sent. Zoom will also contain “tiles notifications” that indicate that you are using AI AI. “This function remains in development, and specific registration and authentication processes can change before general availability,” said Hashim.
Together with photorealistic AI avatars, Zoom introduces several other platform updates, including real -time voice translation. When the update is released in December, he will exploit artificial intelligence to translate what the speaker says in real time, enabling participants to hear the speaker in the language of his choice. The function is currently supported by English, German, Chinese, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Portuguese and Italian.
Zoom also releases a novel version of his AI assistant, which can make schedule meetings for you and create video clips. This month, Zoom will give users the opportunity to “introduce” an assistant to personal meetings and conferences on other platforms, such as Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, where he can take notes.
