The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

    You said that with training data it will be able to understand. I mean that even with training data it will take years and it also has other problems like hallucinations. I admit, I didn’t word it correctly.

      *would, not will.

      It is not know if the needed training data will ever even exist. But if it did, training an AI with that data would result in great, cultural subtitle generation.
