Duke University researchers developed PULSE, an AI tool that upscales blurry face photos using Nvidia's StyleGAN model. When tested, it generated a white face from a pixelated image of Barack Obama, revealing racial bias. The bias stemmed from StyleGAN's training data being predominantly white and the evaluation dataset CelebA being 90% white. The researchers acknowledged the issue and updated their paper, while Nvidia stated it is working to mitigate bias.
