AI expert who made David Beckham speak nine languages and conjured sports presenters out of thin air says ‘in three years you’ll be able to produce a Hollywood film from behind your desk’ [Video]

An AI expert who has made David Beckham speak nine languages claims people will be able to make a Hollywood movie from ‘behind your desk’ within three years.

Victor Riparbelli, 32, is co-founder of the company Synthesia which uses artificial intelligence to create lifelike human faces and speech that are almost indistinguishable from real video.

The young entrepreneur provides high-quality, low-cost films aimed at corporate clients for training, marketing and communications.

Synthesia’s technology has been used for adverts such as making David Beckham speak nine languages to raise awareness of malaria.
