Nightmare Machine was active from October 2016 to November 2016. For centuries, across geographies, religions, and cultures, people try to innovate ways of scaring each other. Creating a visceral emotion such as fear remains one of the cornerstones of human creativity.
The Nightmare Machine is a 2016 project developed by Iyad Rahwan’s Scalable Cooperation lab at MIT, to mark Halloween. Since centuries, and across geographies, religions, and cultures, people have tried to innovate ways of scaring each other—be it as a means of violence, or simply a vehicle for entertainment. Creating a visceral emotion ...
Oct 26, 2016 · Welcome to the Nightmare Machine: an algorithm that has been trained to generate horrifying images. It is attempting to find the scariest faces and locations possible, and gets...
Oct 31, 2016 · Just in time for Halloween, the aptly named Nightmare Machine uses an algorithm that 'learns' what humans find scary, sinister, or just downright unnerving, and generates images based on what it thinks will freak us out the most.
faces: can machines induce extreme human emotions at scale? In this work, we investigate a case study, Night-mare Machine ( nightmare.mit.edu ) towards a partic-ular emotion; fear . We use a deep-learning based approach that induces states of anxiety and negative affect by gener-ating de-novo eerie images. Our system attracted the atten-
Oct 31, 2016 · The primary reason for building Nightmare Machine was to explore the common fear inspired by intelligent computers, its trio of designers told Live Science. They wanted to playfully confront the...
Oct 27, 2016 · MIT researchers developed an algorithm trained to generate horrifying images in an attempt to find the scariest faces and locations possible, and then rely on humans to see which approach makes the freakiest images.
Oct 28, 2016 · The Nightmare Machine uses a deep-learning algorithm created by Associate Professor Iyad Rahwan and post-doctoral researchers Pinar Yanardag and Manuel Cebrian to detect our deepest visual fears.
Nov 1, 2016 · Researchers at CSIRO's Data61 and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab have built what they called the Nightmare Machine, an artificial intelligence designed to transform...
Oct 31, 2016 · Nightmare Machine is an algorithm-based piece of artificial intelligence, or AI, created by a team of researchers at CSIRO and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that spontaneously generates zombie faces out of human ones and transforms images of places into visions of the inferno.
