This video is narrated by my first AI-generated digital clone. I have also cloned my own voice, so this avatar looks and sounds like me, complete with a Finnish accent.

Digital cloning makes it possible to create professional-looking videos without a studio, camera operator, teleprompter, or perfect lighting. It may even become the way many of us appear in social media content or family video calls in the future.

One of the challenges of recording videos with a smartphone is maintaining steady camera work and natural eye contact while simultaneously reading a script. AI avatars can solve many of these practical limitations, allowing creators to focus more on ideas and content rather than technical details.

While this technology is still far from perfect, it offers a fascinating glimpse into how digital communication may evolve in the years ahead.
