Thai production house Kantana has unveiled its first pair of AI-generated lead actors, KAN and THAN, marking a new milestone in the country's digital entertainment industry.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the prominent production company Kantana has announced the debut of Thailand’s first AI-generated lead actors. The pair, named KAN (Kankanok Kanta) and THAN (Than Kanta), are designed to function as 'Digital Human Artists' capable of performing in various formats, including vertical series, films, dramas, advertisements, and virtual productions.
