Scientists develop new AI system to imagine how scenes will play out

New Delhi: Scientists from MIT have come up with a new artificial intelligence system that can imagine how scenes will play out.

This system can take still pictures and generate short videos to simulate what happens next, similar to how humans can visually imagine how a scene will evolve.

Humans intuitively understand how the world works, which makes it easier for people, as opposed to machines, to envision how a scene will play out.

However, objects in a still image could move and interact in a multitude of different ways, making it very hard for machines to accomplish this feat.

The new deep-learning system is able to trick humans 20 per cent of the time when compared to real footage.
