AI is smart enough to recognize your face even if its blurred or pixelated

Hiding behind pixelated and blurred faces will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to artificial intelligence. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and Cornell Tech has come out with a paper which outlines the working of a software that can reconstruct faces and objects that have been masked using techniques like blurring and pixelation. A blurred number plate or a pixelated human face, anything can be decoded by this image recognition software. What's even more scary is that the researchers didn't even have to come up with any new image reconstructing algorithms to make it work. Instead, the team used mainstream machine learning methods where the computer is trained with a set of example data rather than programming.
