01 / The short version
What happened
Google DeepMind and filmmaker Liz Garbus collaborated on the documentary short "Love, Rendered," which uses AI to recreate an unrecorded memory for Burt and Ethelle Shatz, a couple married over 70 years with Burt experiencing cognitive decline. The project combined image restoration with performance capture, mapping the couple's current mannerisms onto their younger selves. Google DeepMind states users can restore and colorize family photos via the Gemini app. The film was produced alongside Dan Cogan and Darren Aronofsky's Primordial Soup.
