AI is certainly becoming more prominent across social media channels, from content to copy and the use of the channels themselves. However this week, TikTok have now launched a new AI-powered feature that enables you to turn any static image into a video clip on a user’s TikTok story.
The feature, which TikTok describes as ‘a first-of-its-kind’, will use intelligent editing tools that give any user the ability to create short-form, engaging video, no matter what their creative or editing expertise may be.
To try it for yourself:
- Open story camera on TikTok by selecting the blue + icon at the top of the page.
- Choose any single photo from your album.
- Click the AI Alive icon on the right hand side of the edit page.
- Post!
Users can view any TikTok story from their For You, Following or Profile page, providing the opportunity for wide reach and potential engagement.
Where concerns have been raised, is with the content AI is generating on the platform. As a result, TikTok has prevented people from violating any policies with the new technology by ensuring safety checks on any content posted, before it’s shown to the creator and is able to post.
