Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ newsreader 'speaks' languages he can’t

Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ newsreader Matthew Amroliwala only speaks English, but by using artificial intelligence software he suddenly appears to be speaking Spanish, Mandarin and Hindi.

The technique is known as deepfake, where software replaces an original face with a computer-generated face of another.

Amroliwala was asked to read a script in Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Click’s film studio and the same phrases were also read by speakers of other languages.

The software, created by London based start-up Synthesia, then mapped and manipulated Amroliwala’s lips to mouth the different languages.

Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Click’s Lara Lewington finds out more.
