Alethea AI is a marketplace for permissioned AI-generated media (deepfakes). As a Celebrity or Creator you can now create a clone of yourself using our AI and monetize your likeness and voice on our platform.
Fascinating. Where do you see this going long term? Will you work with celebs/brands to get official license to their likeness? That's one way for them to scale their "IP" without doing more work. 🤔
@rrhoover Great question! Yes, faces and voices are IP. They hold a special place in our minds and hearts, and are assets on a talent agency's or Studio's balance sheet.
Long-term:
We'll have to ask some fundamental questions:
1) What is the value of a face or a voice? How do we capture this value if it can be composable and easily transferable?
2) What is the LTV of a celebrity/careers career (before, during, after their lives)?
3) What underlying infrastructure must exist to facilitate this value transfer at scale?
Mid-Term:
The pandemic has accelerated the appetite for creators/celebs and brands to try new innovative tools like ours.
Short-term:
We have a really cool celeb shortly to announce, it'll be fun to see their clone speak Japanese or Bahasa to endorse a product, without having to fly to Indonesia or Japan. Of course it must align with their individual brand and be done with consent.
We'll additionally build new synthetic characters, that will take the world by storm!
Hi PH Community,
Synthetic Media is the modern day Gutenberg revolution.

I think this was the final block to recreating the personalized advertising shown in the movie Minority Report (2002) [20 second clip = https://youtu.be/3JNXuCaewOg?t=35]. There's still a ways to go but we can see how the dots get connected.
@gladrobot Indeed James! Thank you for your support!

Some questions:
-How easy is it for a creator to make a character? What do they have to do?
-What project examples do you think these could be used for?
-How much revenue share will creators get?
Deepfakes are definitely a market that is on the fringe of becoming huge, but also in danger of being outright banned due to the implications of it. I think your model shows a positive benefit by allowing the Celebrity/Creator full control over what their DeepFake is used for, but I hope that regulations don't come in and cause you problems later down the line once someone misuses DeepFakes (elsewhere) to cause major panic or alarm.
@exopaul Great questions Paul!
1) Our creator program is in Private Beta, and we are working with a select few creators and interviewing each one we onboard on to our platform.
2) Too many to list here, hence a marketplace approach for our Creators to fulfill the needs and to aggregate demand and fulfill it through suppliers: E-learning,Parody, Virtual Characters, Newscasters...
3) We're testing this out with creators, as to their flex here. Some want to pay upfront for unlimited GPUs and others prefer a variable % per character.
Permissioned Deepfakes will never be banned in the US. Just ask this guy:
