  I wouldn't really consider what they are doing as AI - they are using a script that intelligently overlaps various images of existing people in order to create a new face.
  
  Animating those images isn't impossible - essentially extrapolation + additional "real" images will be used to know what the face would like from all angles and in all states (happy, sad, intrigued, etc...).
