In the early and mid-2000s, a group turtle was popular with upbeat music.

Leader Turtleman suddenly appeared on the stage 12 years after he passed away.

“You just have to take a break, even tomorrow, whether it looks hard or not.”

Turtleman’s voice, expressions, and gestures are vividly implemented with AI technology.

Voice synthesis technology was used to bring the voice to life, and the face was restored with’Face Editing’ technology.

After analyzing the video data in my life, I naturally revived my facial expressions according to various movements and even matched my skin color.

Let’s listen to his new song, Hyunsik Kim, who is celebrating his 30th anniversary this year.

“You’re leaving now, but you’ll be standing behind you.”

It’s a song I’ve never sung in my life, but it was implemented with precise speech synthesis technology.

The avatar technology of idol singers is also evolving.

Avatar created with AI technology beyond 3D characters is so active as a’second member’.

However, it is true that as AI technology advances, there is a growing concern about exploiting it.

There is an urgent need for social consensus on how to use AI technology and to what extent punishment for abuse.
