The New York City-based startup Runway has introduced a new feature for its AI video platform, Gen-3 Alpha, allowing users to create realistic videos from still images and text prompts. Despite facing controversy over its data practices, Runway continues to innovate in the AI video space. The new image-to-video update is fast and high quality, offering users more artistic control over their video creations.
Runway's CEO, Cristóbal Valenzuela, showcased the new feature on social media, highlighting the company's commitment to advancing generative AI technology. The company is competing with other AI firms like OpenAI, Kuaishou Technology, Luma AI, and Pika in the race to provide high-quality generative video solutions. However, Runway and other AI companies are facing legal challenges regarding copyright issues related to data scraping and training practices.
