Eliminating data privacy concerns from video recordings with AI avatars

What if you could eliminate data privacy concerns with your user research videos, security footage, etc., by automatically removing faces and voices?

This is a proof-of-concept demo I’m presenting at Rosenfeld Media’s Designing with AI conference.

Videos of our users offer an unbiased record of behaviors that are hard to capture any other way. But from a data privacy perspective, storing videos containing face and voice information is increasingly risky for businesses (as well as their users).

AI redaction of users’ voices, faces–and bodies–can give you options for more safely storing recordings for longer.

With only a few clicks, we were able to redact a participant’s voice (using ElevenLabs) and body (using Wonder Studio), applying sophisticated audio and visual effects that were previously available only to skilled professionals in the entertainment industry.

This project showcases a way to use AI to protect individuals’ privacy rather than threaten it.
