Developments around AI continued to accelerate rapidly on Tuesday, as news emerged of an Edith Piaf biopic that will be the first crafted in animation through AI. The project, from Warner Music Entertainment and the production company Seriously Happy, is sanctioned by the iconic French musical artist’s estate, which will be a partner in its creation.
A proof of concept for the biopic has already been created, though Warner Music Entertainment is seeking a studio partner to help take the feature forward.
Charting Piaf’s rise to become a symbol of female empowerment and one of France’s most beloved artists of all time, Edith is made possible courtesy of groundbreaking AI technology that will be used to recreate Piaf’s voice and image. In prep for the project, Warner Music trained AI on hundreds of voice clips and images of Piaf, some of which are over 80 years old.
