Meta unveils AI tool to transform photos and text into short videos with sound

Meta has introduced a new AI model called "Meta Movie Gen" that allows users to create short videos with sound from text prompts and photos. This model can generate clips up to 16 seconds long and aims to preserve human identity and motion. The company plans to gather feedback from filmmakers and creators before making the technology publicly available, but no specific release date has been announced. Meta emphasized that this AI tool is not intended to replace artists and animators. This development marks the third phase of Meta's AI video generation efforts. Concerns about the potential misuse of such technology, including the creation of deepfakes, have also been raised.
