Today, we are announcing an update to our platform’s policies regarding the creation of political content in line with our previous efforts to protect elections and the democratic process. Effective immediately, only users with an enterprise account and a custom AI avatar will be allowed to create and distribute political content on Synthesia. This policy shift is designed to ensure that political content is created with the highest degree of transparency and accountability, reinforcing our commitment to a trusted and reliable information ecosystem.

Synthesia is providing the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine free access to our platform so they can produce informative videos using AI avatars, designed to help Ukrainian citizens and social workers navigate the country’s vital social programs and services.

We are sharing the results of a recent red teaming effort of our content moderation systems in the hope of create an open environment where industry peers, policymakers, and the public can engage with us in these crucial conversations. Together, we can harness the power of AI while safeguarding the values that make our digital spaces creative and trustworthy.

In a jaw-dropping moment today at COMPUTEX 2024, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang revealed an AI avatar of himself during his live keynote. Built by Synthesia, the avatar is powered by EXPRESS-1, our latest AI model, which has been trained to understand the intricate relationship between what we say and how we say it, and to reproduce human emotions and mannerisms with incredible detail.

Synthesia has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations, and achieving remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy.
