Metaphysic AI is one of the Hot 100 startups selected by The AI Furnace to attend The AI Hot 100 Conference where they’ll be showcasing their tech. Get ready to see more mind blowing tech like this at the event! 🤯

Metaphysic was voted Time 100 Most Influential Companies 2023 and is a leading generative AI platform for photorealistic, Hollywood-grade content. They worked on Eminem’s recent music video “Houdini”. They have worked with Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway on AI likeness rights and are helping artists monetize from their likeness.

They are applying AI to visual effects and reducing the time and cost it takes movie studios to create high quality content such as ageing and de-aging characters, bringing characters back to life and fast and scalable realistic dubbing and synchronized lip movements.
