"His thinking is active, I really didn't expect it!" This is Guo Qilin's evaluation.
"Yes, we will continue to iterate, learn from more outstanding producers and directors in more programs, and eventually become an AI director who can truly 'direct' a program, movie or short play." Aimang Technology The relevant person in charge of the team recently said in an interview with a cover news reporter.
character design - ta
ai anchor, AI animation, these are already in progress. However, when AI participates in reality shows, becomes a participant in the show, or even the leader of a show in the future, what do you think?
Hunan Satellite TV’s program design has three real people and one assistant director. And Aimang seems to be a "new selling point" in the reality show.
Assistant Director Aimang
The relevant person in charge of Aimang's technical team told the cover news that Aimang's appearance was synthesized from the portraits of the producers of the dual platforms of Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV, and the voice was collected from the "post-95s" of the dual platforms. Voice synthesis of young directors born in the 2000s.
In the first episode of the program, Guo Qilin, Mao Buyi, and Wei Daxun arrived at Changbai Mountain, the first stop of this journey, to start this surprise journey that integrates technology and is full of adventure. In the program, the three people transformed themselves into overbearing Party A. Taking the video materials they had shot for the whole day, they asked Aimang to help edit the vlog, and gave the key words of "lovely and touching", "warm journey" and "inspirational". Mang got to work based on the opinions of the three people, and the final film is also exciting. How long did it take
"Assistant Director" Aimang to develop and design? What is its character? Why male? In the face of many curiosity from the public, the relevant person in charge of the Aimang technical team gave an official reply. "Aimang" is a subdivided scene reasoning model application derived from the base model layer capabilities of the "Mango Vertical Large Model". It is an image without a specific gender.
character design - ai assistant director
The relevant person in charge of Aimang's technical team said that Aimang is currently participating in the recording of the program as an assistant director. In the first episode of the program "We Three", his job is to discuss and confirm with the artists Itinerary, helping artists write shot scripts, editing vlogs, cooperating with artists to complete commercial broadcasts, acting as prop director, etc. The addition of
artificial intelligence has improved the work efficiency of the program team. "During recording, for example, Aimang and the artist cooperate to complete the oral broadcast of the advertisement, which can save an artist's cooperation and reduce the difficulty of cooperation; during filming, the work of the director and the knowledgeable guest can also be replaced by Aimang, and in the post-production period It can also be used as commentary and dubbing, etc. These all mean the improvement of efficiency and reduce the difficulty of personnel coordination and cooperation."
However, the relevant person in charge said that Aimang still experienced some running-in when connecting to the program for the first time, such as Radio equipment, sound card compatibility, etc., "Especially when we couldn't borrow the corresponding equipment at the recording location, we airlifted the equipment directly from Changsha to solve the problem. In other aspects, the collaboration between the on-site personnel and Aimang was relatively smooth."
iteration ——ai director
Become an AI director who can truly "direct" a show, movie or short play. This is the original intention and ideal of developing "Aimang". When
was developing and training Aimang, the technical staff asked him to learn various variety shows.So how to use technology to control the value risks brought by AI during the guidance process? The relevant person in charge of Aimang's technical team told the cover news reporter: "We will perform cleaning checks at the training data level. In addition, the rlhf algorithm can establish necessary safety guardrails for large language models. In terms of the power, emergence and security of large models, Reliability plays a key role as a 'balancer'. Finally, a layer of security audit logic will be added to the output level to avoid value risks as a whole."
In the past year, aigc has been involved in more than 20 applications in Mango In each business segment, AIGC is deeply integrated with business scenarios and has innovated more than 40 products. Among them, there are also industry-first AIGC products such as audio dramas, novel smart selections, and Hi Chat. These products are all based on the application of subdivided scene reasoning models derived from the capabilities of the base model layer of the "Mango Vertex Large Model". The combination of
aigc and the program also produced a good chemical reaction. "We used aigc to draw the passionate life of He Youjun in "Study Trip of Love", and innovatively used aigc to interpret specific history in "A Journey to Hunan" Characters and stories are a breakthrough application of AIGC in the vertical field of Chinese culture."
So as an AI assistant director, when will Aimang be promoted? The relevant person in charge of Aimang's technical team told the cover news reporter that Aimang will continue to iterate. "Currently, he is an assistant director, but he will continue to learn and grow and evolve into an all-round director who can act alone, so our technical team will continue to upgrade Aimang. In addition, in different subsequent programs, we will definitely focus on different The needs of the program show richer capabilities."
