DeepMind’s AI learned to turn flat images into 3D scenes

Google’s UK-based sister company, DeepMind, recently developed an AI that can render entire scenes in 3D after having only observed them as flat 2D images. Broad strokes: AI researchers at the cutting-edge are trying to teach machines to learn like humans. Rather than see the world in pixels, we look around our environment and make assumptions about everything in it. If we can see someone’s chest, we assume they also have a back, even though it may not be visible from our perspectiv
