They Are Now Using AI To Bring Old Photographs To Life

Deep Nostalgia uses AI to animate pictures, including black and white photos from the past. When you look at what they are able to create from those old still photographs, it’s like looking at a video of the individual.

Others, however, have historical significance such as pictures of scientists, presidents, musicians, and authors.

There is now a company that focuses on DNA testing but is helping people to rediscover history in a very unique way. They are using artificial intelligence to animate pictures of people, even if they have been gone for many years.

A number of drivers work to animate the image once it is uploaded to the MyHeritage platform. The drivers each have their own job, creating various gestures and movements to make the individual in the picture look as if they are animated.
