New AI Tool Takes Your Photo Hundreds Of Years In The Past

It's all very well thinking about what Henry VIII or Tutankhamun would look like if you could yank them into the modern day – but what about going the other way? What would it look like if you hopped into a time machine and met them on their own turf? A new AI tool from online genealogy platform MyHeritage, in collaboration with AI image generation specialists Astria, promises to do just that. Well, not the actual time machine part – that would be much bigger news – but it does at least allow you to see what you might have looked like a few hundred years ago. "Over the past 3 years we released many successful features that use the power of AI to bring historical photos to life," said Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage, in a statement.
