Meitu, most well-known for the free photo-editing app Meitu Xiuxiu, has created an artist powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

Andy the ArtBot goes beyond adding effects to original photos, breaking them up and reconstructing them as paintings within 5 seconds. Its segmentation technique can pick out humans in photos and separate them from the background in the creation of different anime-style paintings. According to Meitu, more art styles are likely over time.

Meitu's mission is to make the world a more beautiful place. Its portfolio includes Meitu, BeautyCam, Meipai - a video and live streaming community app - and Meitu smartphones.

The Artbot feature can be found in the Meitu Xiuxiu app under the 'tech magic' option. Download the app

  1. In the last few years, AI art has proliferated. Some AI algorithms can recreate an image in a painter’s style, some can improvise a track alongside a human musician on stage and some can even write a story presenting the reader as hero. Are they as creative or imaginative as humans? Unlike humans, they have a limited degree of functional autonomy and are capable of performing only one function. http://newzealandmirror.com/ai-and-art-how-art-and-museums-are-reinventing-themselves-with-data
