Generative Adversarial Networks: “GANs can create new ‘realities’ that never existed”
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have recently sparked an increasing amount of interest, as they can generate images of faces that look convincingly real. What else are they capable of, what risks could they pose in the long run, and what do they have in common with the emerging internet in the 1990’s? We interviewed ML Conference speaker Xander Steenbrugge.
