Hollywood and AI are like that couple you see everywhere: inseparable, intriguing and constantly making headlines. While studios are singing praises about AI's endless capabilities, traditional performers are biting their nails, wondering where they fit in this evolving tapestry. Ever wished for a personalized message from soccer sensation Lionel Messi? Lay's, joining forces with UEFA Champions League and tech partner Synthesia, transformed that dream into reality.
This initiative, dubbed "Messi Messages," lets soccer fans globally send or receive tailored video messages of Messi in multiple languages.
Here's the kicker: Users punch in a name and a favorite team, and the system crafts a video in which Messi seemingly addresses that individual directly. Thanks to Synthesia's advanced facial mapping, Messi's face aligns with the voice-over, making it seem like he's uttering the entered details. Available in 20 countries and encompassing languages from Spanish to Russian, this tech marvel utilizes AI to narrow the gap between Messi and his fans, offering a unique, personalized connection.
Such innovative partnerships underscore the blurring lines between real and virtual in celebrity endorsements yet offer a reach that was not possible before this technology. Lionel Messi isn't the only star in the virtual constellation. David Beckham made waves in a 2018 campaign for a malaria awareness initiative.
The ad featured Beckham "speaking" nine languages, calling for an end to the deadly disease. But the multilingual prowess was an AI facade, with Beckham's voice and lips altered to fit different languages. Bruce Willis, famed for his adrenaline-charged roles, recently startled fans when he was seemingly transported back in time.

New York Post.Based on records of in-patient and out-patient procedures obtained from two national surgery databases, around 4,550 Americans sought transition-related surgical procedures in 2016, with that number more than tripling to 13,000 by 2019, according to the study, published in JAMA Network Open.The study’s authors attribute the rise in surgical procedures to federal and state laws approved during the Obama administration requiring coverage for medically necessary care, including treatments for gender dysphoria.
