New AI model fills in blank spots in photos- Nikkei Asian Review

A new technology uses artificial intelligence to generate synthetic images that can pass as real. The technology was developed by a team led by Hiroshi Ishikawa, a professor at Japan's Waseda University. It uses convolutional neural networks, a type of deep learning, to predict missing parts of images. The technology could be used in photo-editing apps. It can also be used to generate 3-D images from real 2-D images.
