Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Coin Collecting

That sounds like a fun little side project for you!

I occasionally use Google image search for strange numismatic items and the photo app I use on my phone has an AI button that has helped my terrible photos look better. Other than that, I haven't really messed with anything else. I could see the potential benefits of using it though and I definitely think AI will increasingly become heavily integrated into our lives.

 

I have commented on this before but will have my say. there are 2 major problems with current AI, (This is also stated by 3 of the creators of current AI). 1 Everything they do or use is derivative. this is to say they have no original thinking; they only respond to data, period. 2 they have been programmed to discount all human involvement as flawed but to accept all computer/AI information as accurate. This means if even 1 AI program finds and acccepts flawed information all AI programs now acccept the incorrect information as fact. The creators admit they were forced to rush a product to market and all 3 admit making this mistake. It will only be when an AI program is created or reprogrammed to be a true sceptic that AI will be able to advance.
I have also said on other sites that there is only 1 way I see AI gaining traction in the hobby. They could set up a CAC type stickering program to offer either more advanced opinions on coins in existng slabs (IE, think a grade of AU-54.2), or to recognize varieties, die marriages etc. (Messydesk in a box).

I'm not sure what it does exactly but it balances all of the settings to make the photo better. All of the lights in my house are either too blue or yellow when I take photos and it evens that out.
