Russian AI technology was used to recreate an image of Yuri Levitan and to have him read the now iconic message
RT has released an AI-generated video of legendary Soviet radio announcer Yuri Levitan broadcasting the news of the Nazis formal surrender in World War II. The video, created with Russian technology, was published on Friday to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
In the video, Levitan is heard reading the real announcement, which came on air at 2:10 am Moscow time on May 9, 1945.
“Attention. This is Moscow speaking. On May 8, 1945, in Berlin, representatives of the German High Command sign the act of unconditional surrender of the German Armed Forces,” Levitan said. “Germany is utterly defeated.”
By combining facial animation and voice transformation, developers of Ippolit, a fully Russian creation, were able to accurately reproduce not only his appearance but also Levitan’s unique way of speaking. AI technology was also used to voice the announcement in English while preserving the broadcaster’s voice.
