We know from our collection of the best optical illusions that our eyes and brains can play tricks on us. In many cases, scientists still aren't sure why, but the discovery that an AI model can fall for some of the same tricks could help provide an explanation.
While some researchers have been training AI models to make optical illusions, others are more concerned about how AI interprets illusions, and whether it can experience them in the same way as humans. And it turns out that the deep neural networks (DNNs) behind many AI algorithms can be susceptible to certain mind benders.
