Artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into our everyday lives – including at school. An exciting example of this is the Heygen app, which can automatically translate videos and play them back in different languages with realistic lip-syncing.
The technology was impressively demonstrated at a parents’ evening at HAK Mürzzuschlag: the headmaster first welcomed the parents in German, his native language. Then, with the help of Heygen, the welcome speech was presented in English, Chinese and Swedish – as if he were speaking these languages himself.

The application shows how language barriers can be overcome with the help of AI. Especially in an increasingly international school community, this opens up new opportunities for communication, collaboration and cultural exchange.
Heygen is just one example of how artificial intelligence is changing the world of education – in a practical, understandable way and with great potential for the future.
This app will also be used in the Erasmus+ project AI.Proof to translate the podcasts created as part of the project into the respective national languages of the project partners.
