One company is now using memories to create AI-generated images. It’s part of the Artificial Memories Project’s ongoing work to help people recover their lost memories by turning them into memory images.
The Synthetic Memories project is part of an ongoing movement by domestic data streamers to change how we remember the most important moments of our lives. The moments when a photographer wasn’t around to capture a lasting image of the event.
Using AI models and data from a person’s brain, the team behind the project is able to create a memory image that shows the event in an image that looks like it was there when it was happening. could have been caught.
The image uses older models of AI, such as DALL-E 2, which means that the images contain many flaws. But, the company behind the project believes that these older models help capture the more nuanced and hazy aspects of memories, as we don’t always remember the finer details.
Some of the project’s most recent efforts involved extracting memories from the mind of 84-year-old Maria, a woman from Barcelona. Maria told the project that she has vivid memories of trying to catch a glimpse of her father, who was in prison where she lived.
The models were able to take data from his mind and create a memory image of him on the balcony of his house, trying to find his father. said the founder of Domestic Data Streamers MIT Review You can tell when a memory is right because it elicits a very real response from the person.
The project says it’s concerned that OpenAI and other AI companies will eventually retire their older models, which they say make perfect pictures because of the flaws they contain. If this happens, they will have to rely on new models to create their memory images, which may not be true to life because they will not have the imperfections that memories can sometimes present.
Of course, this is just one of the many ways we’re seeing AI being used by various companies around the world. Others are finding new ways to create AI-generated videos and photos, and even use them to help verify eye behavior to tell if someone is lying.
