Synthetic Data Is About To Transform Artificial Intelligence

These people do not exist. These faces were artificially generated using a form of deep learning ... [ ] known as generative adversarial networks (GANs). Synthetic data like this is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from real-world data. Imagine if it were possible to produce infinite amounts of the world's most valuable resource, cheaply and quickly. What dramatic economic transformations and opportunities would result? This is a reality today. It is called synthetic data. Synthetic data is not a new idea, but it is now approaching a critical inflection point in terms of real-world impact.
