OmniHuman-1 Creates Deepfakes That Fool Even Experts

ByteDance's OmniHuman-1 pushes deepfake tech further, creating hyper-realistic videos from a single image and audio input.

• Trained on 19,000 hours of data, OmniHuman-1 creates lifelike videos of any length, with adjustable ratios, proportions, and limb movements

• Despite some issues with low-quality images and certain poses, its output far exceeds current deepfake tech

• Deepfakes fuel global election disruptions and rising fraud—$12B in 2023, projected $40B by 2027—while 60% have encountered them, and 72% worry daily about deception

OmniHuman-1, not yet released by ByteDance, marks a shift in AI-generated content, showcasing technological progress and a rapidly evolving synthetic media landscape.
