How generative adversarial networks (GANs) make AI systems smarter

"GANs are the secret weapon for AI companies and projects," TechRepublic contributor Jay Garmon said. TechRepublic's Dan Patterson spoke to Garmon to discuss how companies must use generative adversarial networks (GANs) if they want to succeed using artificial intelligence (AI). GANs are two different AI software packages that fight against each other in order improve one another. These networks became popular in 2014, primarily for use in video and image processing.
