AI Time Machine™ is an innovative and fun new feature that enables you to transform yourself into historical figures using AI technology. Read about this groundbreaking technology in our AI Time Machine™ announcement blog post.
Immediately following the launch of MyHeritage’s AI Time Machine™, it went viral. Since the launch, which occurred just a few days ago, tons of AI images have been created, and users have been delighted with the results. Many people have shared their amazing results on their social media platforms, evoking love, laughter, and admiration from their friends and family.
Have you taken AI Time Machine™ for a spin? It’s very simple to use and the results are mind-blowing. Go to myheritage.com/ai-time-machine, upload several photos of yourself from different angles and let the AI Time Machine™ work it’s magic. Within 30- 90 minutes it will craft remarkable images of you as if you were living during the time of your ancestors.
Here are some of the latest news articles and social media posts featuring MyHeritage’s AI Time Machine™:
The Daily Mail had a lot of fun over the weekend sharing what some of their favorite celebrities might have looked like during different historical times.
“The science team fed photos of James Corden, Piers Morgan and Drew Barrymore into the tool – and got some rather hilarious results. Corden looks well-groomed and ready for battle in his Viking clobber, while Morgan makes a real mean-looking bandit from the Wild West.”
CNN Anchor Jake Tapper tweeted to his 3.2 million followers:

I dunno, I kind of look more evil as a historical figure.
Perhaps that is why Facebook banned me – they want to stop me from becoming an evil emperor?! #MyHeritage #AITimeMachine https://t.co/2VgI6HmaI3 pic.twitter.com/0DUS1l6TjX— 🎗️ David Lange (@Israellycool) November 19, 2022

Serious ethical issues with @MyHeritage's AI Time Machine e.g. losing your entire lunchbreak to distraction, getting tempted into v. expensive hair dye jobs, and/or being actually quite attracted to… yourself 😒🤫 pic.twitter.com/QKRS0ZDeeP

@danielloftusgenealogy @myheritage have definitely outdone themselves this time! Give a try yourself. (P.S. NOT an ad) — the style I had chosen to have that one generated was the 1950s option. What one is your favourite? #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #technology #ai #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #history #tech #techtok
