Tavus's Griffin AI model fools nearly half of test viewers
Original: US startup Tavus unveils Griffin model — 48% of test subjects mistook video call partner for a real human
US startup Tavus has unveiled Griffin, a conversational video model designed to power lifelike AI avatars on video calls. In company testing, 48% of participants mistook the AI-generated call partner for a real human, a result being cited as evidence of how quickly synthetic video is approaching human indistinguishability and raising fresh questions about deception and consent in video communication.
Why now: The near-human performance of the model highlights rapid advances — and risks — in AI-generated video realism.
