With the advent of powerful new technologies come new opportunities for businesses to take advantage of. Case in point: Facetune’s new YOUniverse app, which harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate images of users in any style they can think of. As the company’s CEO and CTO note, this makes Facetune the only company on the market with such capabilities. And that’s just the beginning—soon, AI will be used to do things we can’t even imagine today.
The app works by taking advantage of text-to-image generators and Lightricks’ technology. First, users upload a selfie to the app. Then, they select a style they want to be rendered in— anything from “The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland” to “Florence Pugh from Midsommar.” The app does the rest, creating a realistic image of the user in that style.
As CEO Zeev Farbman and CTO Itai Tsiddon note, businesses can use YOUniverse to create avatars for their employees or customers that can then be used in a variety of contexts. For example, an e-commerce company could use the app to create avatars of their customers that can then be used to recommend products or styles. Or, a gaming company could use it to generate characters for their games based on real people. The possibilities are endless—and businesses that can take advantage of this technology will have a significant leg up on their competitors.
Facetune’s new YOUniverse app is just one example of how businesses can take advantage of powerful new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). With AI, businesses can do things that were once impossible— like generating images of users in any style they can think of. This has implications for businesses across industries, from e-commerce companies using customer avatars to recommend products to gaming companies using avatars to generate game characters. Businesses taking advantage of this technology will have a significant leg up on their competitors— so don’t miss out!

Christian is a futurist and trendwatcher who speaks about the impact of exponential technologies like AI on organizations, people, and talents. Christian tailors his presentations to your audience’s specific industries and needs.
Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital transformation and disruption is coming at us fast. Many organizations see this wave as a threat and experience stress, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.
Embracing the advancements of technology and AI can enhance our humanity. We can focus on developing our unique talents and skills by automating mundane tasks and freeing up our time. As humans, we can adapt and learn, allowing us to evolve and stay relevant in a rapidly changing world constantly.
Organizations will need to be more fluid, dynamic, and adaptable: the ability to change and adjust in response to new situations and environments. We are on the cusp of a new era of organizations, ones that are more fluid and agile and which behave like swarms we see in nature.
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health. Imagine that your phone can listen to your voice and AI algorithms can detect small nuances in the tone of your voice that indicate specific diseases.
