AI can mimic handwriting

According to Bloomberg, researchers at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in Abu Dhabi (UAE) have developed an AI system that can imitate human handwriting based on just a few paragraphs of text. To do so, they used a transformer model, which is designed to understand the context and meaning in the system data. MBZUAI's model was trained on publicly available handwritten texts.

The MBZUAI research team has been granted a patent for this tool by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Thanks to advances in AI, character recognition techniques have surpassed previous handwriting-generating applications and robots.

The team plans to apply the new technology to a variety of applications within the next few months and is looking for commercial partners. Rao Muhammad Anwer, one of the inventors, said the technology has the ability to decipher illegible handwriting and design personalized ads. In addition, it can generate large amounts of synthetic data to improve the handwriting processing capabilities of other AI models.

The tool can currently generate English and French text, but the team still struggled to train the AI ​​to “learn” Arabic handwriting.

However, MBZUAI stressed that this tool needs to be deployed with caution to prevent impersonation. Hisham Cholakkal - associate professor of computer vision at MBZUAI said that we need to raise public awareness and create anti-impersonation tools, similar to the development of anti-virus programs.

The misuse of AI for malicious purposes remains a concern. In March 2023, images of Pope Francis in a Balenciaga life jacket and Donald Trump being arrested created by AI went viral on social media. British actor Stephen Fry said his voice was copied by AI to create a documentary without his permission. In December 2023, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong warned about his image being impersonated by AI to call for cryptocurrency investment.
