 Scientists have successfully combined artificial intelligence (AI) with quantum mechanics to enable computers to see optical illusions for the first time. A deep neural network was trained using quantum tunneling to mimic human interpretation of complex optical illusions, such as the Necker Cube and Rubin's Vase. This breakthrough could have implications for improving human-computer interaction, enhancing decision-making capabilities, and assisting in the diagnosis of certain medical conditions.
