Alibaba has introduced a new AI feature that enables viewers to experience Terracotta Warriors dancing on Watch Friendsscreen to “kemusan”, a recent viral dance challenge sweeping social media, with videos powered by the image-to-video tool Tongyi Wuwang, which roughly translates as “one dance king”. Using Alibaba’s foundation model “Animate Anyone,” the function is able to animate a full-body photo to a ten-second dance video while maintaining original facial expressions and background, and can be tried directly via the e-commerce giant’s ChatGPT-like program Tongyi Qianwen. The MagicAnimate-like tool was debuted as Alibaba’s latest generative AI tool of a wave of artificial intelligence products to hit the public. [Jiemian, in Chinese]
