Ever wanted to clone yourself? Now you can! Enter A.I.-created synthetic media beyond deepfakes.  In this special episode of Creativity Squared, you’ll meet Helen 2.ODD, our host Helen Todd’s custom synthetic avatar, and learn how "she" was made. You read that right — Helen digitally cloned herself! And now there are two of her: the human Helen and her digital double Helen 2.ODD.  It’s important to know that Helen 2.ODD isn’t a deepfake, because Helen owns all of the IP associated with “her.” The digital avatar market is projected to be $270 billion by 2030, and custom synthetic avatars are part of this market alongside stock avatars. It’s no surprise since this new form of media can do things humans can’t do, like create multiple videos simultaneously and often speak more languages than their human counterparts do. Helen can only speak English whereas Helen 2.ODD can currently speak eight languages.  Render, Creativity Squared partner and sponsor, captured Helen’s visual likeness, cloned her voice, and using their AI-integrating application, generated Helen 2.ODD, a hyper-realistic avatar. There are less than a thousand known custom synthetic avatars in existence. This groundbreaking A.I. technology can help anyone who has a lot of content that they want to bring alive in video without going on camera, from business owners to educators to influencers. Visit https://CreativitySquared.com or the Creativity Squared YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/YouTubeC2) or search #Helen2ODD to see how photo-realistic Helen 2.ODD is.  Creativity Squared is collaborating with our partner and sponsor Render to bring their avatar experience to Cincinnati, OH, on October 25 and 26, so anyone can digitally clone themselves as well.
