The Buzz Surrounding AI-Generated Videos Featuring YouTuber Hikaru on Nontitle
Recently, the startup AICrew, based in Nakameguro, Tokyo, launched their innovative "AI Video Production e-learning" program, which caught national attention when it was featured on the entrepreneurial reality show
Nontitle Season 5. The episode highlighted an AI-generated video of the popular YouTuber Hikaru, leading to a buzz in the studio as cast members reacted to the lifelike representation.
Studio Goes Wild Over AI Hikaru
What aired during the show was nothing short of astonishing: a video featuring an “AI Hikaru” that appeared as if it were the actual person appearing on screen. In reality, Hikaru did not participate in any filming; the entire video was generated autonomously by advanced AI technology. This remarkable creation came from a staff member at AICrew who had no prior experience in video editing but completed the e-learning course successfully. Hikaru himself commented, "It’s impressive to have such talent within the company," acknowledging the potential of leveraging AI in video creation.
This revelation emphasizes a pressing need for new skills in the workforce, focusing on the ability to harness AI effectively.
