每日新闻摘要：三星发表了《蒙娜丽莎》的演讲

Recently Samsung demonstrated a new capability to create video clips of people talking using just a single photo. An explanation video culminated in an example of a convincing talking Mona Lisa. It’s a significant step forward in deepfake technology.

最近，三星展示了一项新功能，该功能可以仅使用一张照片来创建通话对象的视频剪辑。 一段解释性视频最终以令人信服的Mona Lisa说话为例。 这是Deepfake技术向前迈出的重要一步。

Deepfake technology refers to using A.I. processes to swap a face onto another person’s body in a video. Face-swapping is easy in photographs, but much more difficult in videos, and usually requires many sample photos of a target face.

Deepfake技术是指使用AI流程将人脸在视频中交换到另一个人的身体上。 换脸在照片中很容易，但是在视频中要困难得多，并且通常需要目标面部的许多样本照片。

That restriction alone is why deepfake videos are usually of celebrities, such as a compilation of movies with Nicholas Cage inserted as main characters.

仅此一个限制就是为什么Deepfake视频通常是名人的原因，例如以Nicholas Cage为主要角色的电影汇编。

Samsung has taken the technology further. Instead of relying on many pictures of a person, they can now create video from a single image, or even a painting. It isn’t entirely convincing yet; you can easily see that something is off, but with just a few photos, the illusion starts to take hold. With time, the company will likely improve on the results as well.

三星将技术进一步发展。 现在，他们不再依赖于一个人的许多图片，而是可以从单个图像甚至一幅画中创建视频。 这还不完全令人信服。 您可以轻松地看到有些问题，但是只有几张照片，这种错觉就开始流行起来。 随着时间的推移，该公司也可能会改善结果。

The whole thing is fascinating and mildly terrifying. Any technology is a tool; you could use it for good or bad. Movie studios, for instance, use deepfake technology to seemingly bring actors back from the dead, as in “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.” But we have the internet, so of course, the tech can be and is used for horrible things as well. It’s early days though, so don’t feel the need to pull all your photos off the internet just yet. [CNET]

整个过程令人着迷，并且有些恐怖。 任何技术都是一种工具； 您可以使用它的好坏。 例如，电影制片厂使用Deepfake技术使演员从死里复活，就像“星球大战：流氓中队”中那样。 但是我们拥有互联网，因此，当然，该技术可以并且也用于恐怖事件。 不过，这还处于初期阶段，因此，您不需要立即将所有照片从互联网上删除。 [ CNET ]

Amazon may be working on an emotion tracking Alexa gadget: Based on some patents and “sources,” Amazon may be working on a wearable that knows how you feel. The proof of concept shows an Echo that notices someone sick and offering chicken soup and cough drops. There’s not much to go on here, and Amazon isn’t commenting. So file this under “may never happen.” [Gizmodo]

This is just a patent though, so also file this under “may never happen.” [Engadget]

If you have a telescope, you should get it out this weekend. An asteroid is on course to make a close flyby to the Earth Saturday night, though not quite so close you can see it with the naked eye.

如果您有望远镜，这个周末应该把它拿出来。 小行星正准备在周六晚上近距离飞越地球，尽管距离并不太近，您无法用肉眼看到它。

But this is no ordinary asteroid; it has a moon. Asteroid 1999 KW4 is about a mile wide, and its moon is about .3 miles wide. Binary objects like this don’t pass near the Earth often—scientists even say it’s one of the closest flybys in recent history.

但这不是普通的小行星。 它有一个月亮。 小行星1999 KW4约宽1英里，其卫星约宽0.3英里。 这样的二元物体并不经常在地球附近通过-科学家甚至说它是最近历史上最接近的飞越动物之一。
