https://www.adweek.com/digital/nvidias-image-creation-tool-shows-how-ai-could-transform-content-creation/ Nvidia is showing off the power of a cutting-edge field of artificial intelligence with a new tool that turns rudimentary computer doodles into images that could pass for real photographs.
The software, which the Silicon Valley chip company plans to eventually integrate into its forthcoming AI Playground web studio, draws on a data set of around 1 million photos to flesh out a photo-quality landscape based on the rough shapes and colors of an MS Paint-caliber sketch.
The software uses a generative adversarial network, or GAN, in which two neural networks—AI machines with computational nodes that mimic the neurons of a brain—are trained with vast data sets of images until one is able to generate an image that the other is unable to distinguish from the rest of the real photos. While the basic concept has existed for years, the name was first codified in a 2014 paper by Google senior staff research scientist Ian Goodfellow.
