Facebook has developed a new function for global users that might scare you because of the way it was thought, but also because it offers something that could give rise to some very strange pictures. Those at Facebook have developed a special algorithm, based on artificial intelligence, that can open your eyes in pictures where your eyes are closed, the idea being to help people take more good pictures, even though they had their eyes closed when some were recorded .
Facebook has published a research document describing the functionality based on artificial intelligence, two engineers of the American company being the authors of that document. Facebook uses a technology used in the past to generate human faces from scratch, but the American company only wants to open our eyes in the selfies we managed to take with our eyes closed, so theoretically everything should be much simpler in this way.
Facebook: The NEW function that could SCARED you
Facebook claims that the procedure to show eyes where there is normally an eyelid is not that simple, so there is a possibility that sometimes the eyes are not really those of the person who took the picture. Facebook does not use our eyes taken from other pictures, but the artificial intelligence recreates them from scratch as they should look in reality, but it would analyze some of the pictures in which we have a tag applied, so theoretically the mistakes should not to appear.
"The company released a research paper this week, authored by two Facebook engineers, which outlines a new method of recreating eyes in photos using what's known as an "exemplary generative adversarial network" or ExGAN. It's the kind of deep learning that's already used to generate pictures of faces from scratch and now Facebook wants to use it to fix your selfies."
Facebook has been using artificial intelligence for some time to identify people based on girls, so putting eyes where they are not should not be that difficult, or at least if we are talking theoretically. For now, those from Facebook have only confirmed that they have a technology of this kind, without saying when they could officially launch it for users, so it remains to be seen when it will begin its testing on us.
