Beyond AI art: creating scientific truth.

New @berkeleylab.lbl.gov research evaluates how well AI models generate scientifically valid images of rocks, plants & ceramics. This work could revolutionize research by filling critical data gaps. Learn more: bit.ly/GenAI_LBNL

A comparative infographic showcasing the results of different generative AI models in creating scientific images. The infographic is divided into three vertical sections, labeled 'Ceramics,' 'Plants,' and 'Rocks.' Each section contains a grid of images comparing a 'Raw' scientific source image to AI-generated versions created by models including DCGAN, StyleGAN, DALL-E2, and DALL-E3. The 'Ceramics' section shows microscopic views of packed particles, the 'Plants' section displays images of seedlings and root systems, and the 'Rocks' section features grayscale micro-scans of rock sediment, illustrating the varying success of different AI models in reproducing scientifically accurate images.
