The latest season of America's Got Talent saw Elvis Presley reborn back to the stage.

In a two-part finale, AI performance duo, Chris Ume and Tom Graham, deepfaked the King of Rock with judge Simon Cowell, who sung "You're The Devil In Disguise" and "Hound Dog" alongside a real-time deepfake with backup singers model, Heidi Klum and actress, Sofia Vergara. Elvis tribute singer, Emilio Santoro, donned an unbuttoned black shirt and golden suit jacket decked out in rhinestones fit for the King of Rock n’ Roll.

Metaphysic took to Instagram to showcase their gratitude. “What an absolute honor to have brought back The King, Elvis Presley, to sing once again,” the duo wrote via Instagram. The co-founders added, “We’re feeling very thankful that we were able to show so many of you the power of our super advanced AI tech tonight, and the tremendous joy it brings.” The YouTube video has gained more than one million views.
