Did you ever imagine that technology would grow to the point that a computer would be able to reconstruct a person's face from the simple act of hearing their voice even if they don't know their face? Well, an Artificial Intelligence of the MIT just made it. Talking about MIT sometimes feels like talking about a group of researchers, engineers, and scientists who live in the future several decades ahead. There we have impressive examples. A project that will make your smarwatch look like an object from the last century. Or the robots that are already learning social skills.

MIT researchers have developed an impressive, albeit terrifying, artificial intelligence application that can figure out what you look like just by listening to your voice. In a recent paper titled'Speech2Face: Learning the Face Behind a Voice,' they detailed how the AI software can reconstruct faces after being supplied with various sound bites. To achieve this, the neural network was fed millions of educational clips from YouTube that featured more than 100,000 people. In a recent paper titled'Speech2Face: Learning the Face Behind a Voice,' researchers detailed how the AI software can reconstruct faces after being supplied with various sound bites'Our goal in this work is to study to what extent we can infer how a person looks from the way they talk,' researchers explained in the study, which was published on Arxiv, a publishing site for non-peer reviewed papers. 'Obviously, there is no one-to-one matching between faces and voices.

Picture this: you're sitting in a police interrogation room, struggling to describe the face of a criminal to a sketch artist. You pause, wrinkling your brow, trying to remember the distance between his eyes and the shape of his nose. Suddenly, the detective offers you an easier way: would you like to have your brain scanned instead, so that machines can automatically reconstruct the face in your mind's eye from reading your brain waves? After decades of work, scientists at Caltech may have finally cracked our brain's facial recognition code. Using brain scans and direct neuron recording from macaque monkeys, the team found specialized "face patches" that respond to specific combinations of facial features.

Reading minds is an ability only found in comic book heroes. But new researcher has revealed that computer can now analyse brain scans and work out who a person is thinking about. The AI system can even create a digital portrait of the face in question. Researchers have reconstructed a face after peering into the mind of another by extracting latent face components from neural activity and using machine learning to create digital portraits. Researchers used an innovative form of fMRI pattern analysis to test whether lateral parietal cortex actively represents the contents of memory.
