Get ready for AI to make videos from just your picture.   Microsoft Research recently unveiled VASA, a new AI framework demonstration capable of generating “hyper-realistic” talking faces from a single portrait and speech audio, possibly reducing the reliance on webcams. The new technology introduces a shift in video conferencing, potentially making webcams obsolete by synthesizing lifelike facial…
