Can you tell an avatar from the real deal? With this technology improving daily, GORR takes you on deeper dive into the uses of this form of AI.
At this point, it’s safe to say we’ve all heard of deepfakes, whether in the translation service industry or not. They are a remarkably awe-inspiring technological leap that has mostly been slammed for its misuse.
Despite this, GORR knows that deepfakes and the perhaps lesser-known AI avatars present creative opportunities that can open doors for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
So, what are AI avatars? AI avatars are digital personas that mimic human interaction. Powered by sophisticated algorithms and machine learning, these computer-generated entities can be applied to various fields, serving as virtual assistants, customer service representatives, or even brand ambassadors. The primary objective of AI avatars is to offer a seamless, human-like interface to enhance user engagement and satisfaction.
Conversely, deepfakes employ deep learning algorithms to alter or replace existing content, often images or video content. Politicians and celebrities tend to be the most popular subjects of such content and there is no shortage of examples such as putting Jerry Seinfeld into Pulp Fiction or having Taylor Swift endorse Le Creuset Cookware.
AI avatars hold immense promise in the domain of translation and localization. These digital entities can be used to assist in facilitating basic multilingual communication and breaking down language barriers for global audiences. They also have the potential to deliver real-time language support, aiding users in navigating websites, applications, or services in their native languages.
Moreover, in the hands of a professional translation service, AI avatars can contribute not just to the translation, but the localization of content by adapting cultural nuances, ensuring a more personalized and relevant user experience. This becomes particularly crucial in marketing campaigns where cultural sensitivity and localization play pivotal roles in resonating with diverse audiences.
Deepfakes, although not inherently designed for translation and localization, can be a useful tool in these areas. The technology can be leveraged by language professionals to create realistic dubbing or subtitles, enhancing the viewer experience in different languages.
Ensuring that such technology is not misused, however, is also of vital importance. For this to happen, responsible agencies like GORR are needed to lead the way, guaranteeing translation (and localization) quality while simultaneously enabling creative freedom. Having language professionals as part of the process allows for seamless transitions between languages and the avoidance of unintended AI missteps or intentional tomfoolery.
As far as sales and marketing go, AI avatars offer a dynamic approach to customer engagement and service. These digital representatives can provide product information, answer basic queries, and guide users through the sales funnel. Their 24/7 availability ensures consistent support and assistance, fostering customer trust and loyalty.
AI avatars can also contribute to brand consistency. By embodying a brand persona, they ensure uniform messaging across various platforms and interactions. This consistency is vital for building a strong brand identity and establishing a long-term connection with consumers.
Deepfakes are also capable of introducing a creative dimension to sales and marketing efforts. In the context of advertisements, they can be employed to create lifelike endorsements or testimonials, featuring influencers or celebrities speaking in multiple languages. This has the potential to resonate more effectively with diverse audiences, contributing to the success of international marketing campaigns.
As these technologies continue to evolve, the responsible utilization of AI avatars and deepfakes can unlock a new era of global communication, revolutionizing the way businesses connect with diverse audiences around the world. Language professionals are a key link in this chain, keeping messages on brand and assuring that you can reach your customers in a meaningful way, no matter where in the world they may live.
