AI designs 'nightmare' Halloween masks of terrifying monsters and ghouls

A developer has trained artificial intelligence software to be able to dream up its own Halloween masks and the results are downright terrifying. Matt Reed, a creative technologist at Nashville-based advertising agency Red Pepper, trained a neural network by supplying it with 5,000 images of popular Halloween masks, like Jason Voorhees from the 1980's horror film'Friday the 13th.' A developer has trained a neural network to be able to create its own Halloween masks. The AI uses a general adversarial network, a type of algorithm that is used in automated machine learning software. It'pits two networks against each other' to be able to improve over time.
