AI learns "Tezuka Manga" to publish new work in comic magazine February 7 21:07
AI = Artificial intelligence has studied Osamu Tezuka's manga, and a new manga based on the outline and character's face has been produced and will be published in a magazine.
This manga was created by a project team consisting of Tezuka Productions and others, based on the idea that if Osamu Tezuka is alive, what future will he draw with manga?
AI developed by semiconductor maker Kiokusia and Keio University will learn the historical background, action, and story composition of works such as "Firebird" and "Astro Boy", and then view the world and outline of new works. I figured out.
Also, the characters in the work were learned, and AI devised a new character's face.
The new work is a story in which a homeless man who has lost his memory is playing an active role with a small bird robot in Tokyo in 2030, where the management society has advanced.
There have been cases where AI wrote novels and drew paintings, but it has been a challenging effort to create a manga that combines story and character creation. Tezuka Productions' director Tezuka According to Shin, "There were some difficult situations, but there is definitely something like Osamu Tezuka in the synopsis and the face of the character devised by AI."
The new work will be published in a comic magazine that will be released by Kodansha later this month.
