We can say that we have reached exciting points in the images that can be created by artificial intelligence. New techniques developed in research laboratories provide more successful results in this field. A new AI algorithm that turns human faces into animals is evidence of this.

Educator and artificial intelligence researcher Xander Steenbrugge has developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that can turn the human face into animal face and then turn it back into animal form. It can be said that the developed algorithm has made transformations quite successfully (although not as successful as in science fiction movies …). This experiment is part of the Neural Synesthesia project, where Steenbrugge gained audiovisual experiences using algorithms and machine learning models.

Steenbrugge’s work was done using productive contentious networks (GAN) that “learn” from a dataset like many image transfer studies and then try to convert the target image into the source you feed. For example; deepfake videos are also made using GANs.

Steenbrugge uses a new set of artificial intelligence production model StarGAN v2 and 15,000 HD animal photos for the change called “humanimals”. It uses this data set together with human faces as educational data and passes it through a different model, StyleGAN v2. You can watch the fantastic results that come out here.

About the new algorithm, the researcher said, “I believe that creativity has become an interactive process between man and machine, and we witnessed the beginning of a new era in digital environment. commented.
