    The technology

    How does artificial intelligence(AI) generate images?

    Images can be generated using artificial intelligence(AI) through several methods.

    One of the most common methods is through the use of Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs).

    It uses two neural networks - a generator and a discriminator. Generators create images based on prompts entered by users and discriminators judge, based on real-life examples of the target images, how close the image is to the real reference.

    Uses

    What can be AI-generated images used for?

    AI-generated images can be used for a variety of purposes, including creating new artwork and generating images for movies and video games to create realistic environments and characters.

    AI can also be used for creating images for use in research and development.

    Overall, AI-generated images have the potential to be a powerful tool for creating new art, enhancing entertainment, and advancing scientific research.

    Threats

    The dangers of AI-generated images

    There are several prospective dangers associated with AI-generated images.

    One concern is the potential for AI-generated images to be used to spread misinformation or propaganda.

    For example, AI-generated images of politicians or public figures could be used to create fake news or manipulate public opinion.

    These images can also be used to create deepfake videos, which could be used to impersonate or defame individuals.

    Social media 

    Other popular AI-generated social media sensations

    Some examples of AI-generated images that have received significant attention in the past include:

    This Person Does Not Exist: This website, which was created in 2019, uses GANs to generate realistic images of people who do not actually exist.

    AI Dungeon: This text adventure game, which was released in 2020, uses AI to generate unique and engaging storylines for players to explore.
