DeepMind, Google's AI research lab, is developing AI technology called V2A (video-to-audio) to generate soundtracks for videos. The tech creates music, sound effects, and dialogue that match the visuals by taking a description of the desired soundtrack and pairing it with the video. DeepMind's V2A uses a diffusion model trained on a combination of sounds, dialogue transcripts, and video clips. However, the generated audio isn't currently of high quality, preventing its release to the public. DeepMind sees V2A as a tool for archivists and filmmakers, but acknowledges potential labor concerns in the film and TV industry.
