As the process of using artificial intelligence to generate text and images has become more sophisticated with the emergence of AI platforms such as ChatGPT (for text) and Stable Diffusion (for images), it was just a matter of time before the technology made its way to video. Now a New York-based startup has introduced such a service that generates crude videos based on short text descriptions.
The company, Runway AI, is introducing its service to select testers this week and is part of the wave of “generative AI” tools that have generated an immense amount of buzz over the past several months. And although the use of AI in film and video production has been used for years and has even led to the emergence of “deep fake” videos, the process of using text commands to generate media could have huge implications on the creative community.
