This is an interesting read over at the Scientific American. It discusses how AI and neural networks are poised to be used to create fake photographs of just about everything in existence and NVIDIA is at the heart of it. These GANs networks are taking hundreds of thousands of pictures and using those to create "pictures" of people that do not exist. While all of this sounds nefarious, it could go a long ways in creating video game and film content. Sounds more like AI "art" than anything else.
A newer approach involves so-called generative adversarial networks, or GANs, which consist of a “generator” network that creates images and a “discriminator” network that evaluates their authenticity.
It remains to be seen whether online mischief makers—already producing fake viral content—will use AI-generated images or videos for nefarious purposes. At a time when people increasingly question the veracity of what they see online, this technology could sow even greater uncertainty.
