III. Quick Thoughts on AI
“It is hard to discern who will benefit from AI and who will be challenged. It’s also unclear where there are opportunities for value creation (ie. make money as an investor) and where there will be value destruction. But it is clear change is upon us and evolving rapidly.”
“Human-like articulated neural avatars have several uses in telepresence, animation, and visual content production. These neural avatars must be simple to create, simple to animate in new stances and views, capable of rendering in photorealistic picture quality, and simple to relight in novel situations if they are to be widely adopted.”
