A team used artificial intelligence to make words come out of former President Barack Obama 's mouth . 
For example , the demo shows Obama talking about health care and saying : "Enrollment is open right now , but only until January 31st . 
An update from the Wild Wild West of fake news technologies : A team of computer scientists have figured out how to make words come out of the mouth of former President Barack Obama -- on video -- by using artificial intelligence . 
In that speech , as Obama originally gave it , those two sentences were in reverse order -- and there were many other words in between . 
Researchers chose Obama because there 's so much high definition video available of him to study . 
As a team out of the University of Washington explains in a new paper titled "Synthesizing Obama : Learning Lip Sync from Audio ," they 've made several fake videos of Obama . 
Obama did in fact say these words . 
Audio and video images could be manipulated to make it look like he said them at a different time -- say as a much younger Obama . 
The researchers accomplished this feat not by cutting and pasting his body into different scenes -- but by having a computer system called a neural network study hours and hours of video footage , to see how Obama 's mouth moves .
