Facebook wants to literally open your eyes with A.I. that fixes blinks in photos

Artificial intelligence is now smart enough to paint in the missing regions of a face to fix a blink or turn a frown into a smile. Those A.I. programs use a stranger's photograph, so while the programs may fix a bad blink, they also create a Frankenstein of you with someone else's eyes. Facebook researchers, however, may have come up with a solution by training an A.I. that uses your actual eyes from a previous photograph to fix that blink. Facebook published the research on June 18. Repairing a photograph with A.I. is nothing new -- earlier this year, Nvidia researchers created an A.I. healing tool that could replace missing pixels in a portrait, including missing eyes.
