A few weeks ago, Sahid S.K., an AI artist and creator based in Arambag, West Bengal, teamed up with the Rajasthan police to help find missing children. Sahid is also the co-founder of Megalodon, a creative agency.
When the cops from Rajasthan approached him about recreating the old, worn-out photos of the missing children, the opportunity to make AI work for people was clear. Using AI tools, the images of the kids could be recreated .”I was given old, faded pictures where you could barely see the children’s faces. I reconstructed their faces using AI tools and age-progression technology to estimate their current appearance.
