TikTok has released AI Alive, a new tool that animates still photos for TikTok Stories, creating motion-filled video clips. This feature automatically transforms everyday images into dynamic visuals, adding sound and movement for a more engaging user experience. For example, a still photo of a sunset can evolve into a sweeping, cinematic video with atmospheric effects. Beyond its creative potential, the tool emphasizes safety by labeling AI-generated content and embedding metadata for transparency. AI Alive taps into advancing technology to explore new storytelling possibilities while aiming to maintain authenticity.
