Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already developed knowledge to act in different commercial and artistic areas, presenting more and more impressive advances.
Today, AI develops text, image and audio content, but it still has a very specific difficulty: create images of human hands.

When it comes to the realistic reproduction of these limbs, the Artificial intelligence faces challenges in understanding the complexity of human anatomy. Therefore, its reproductions are limited, without important details, and even bizarre in some cases.
The curious thing is that AIs are already able to replicate realistic images of people, even combining different characteristics or idealizing future children, as many people do in social media.
However, technology is still learning how hands are made of fine details, textures and movements that are the result of years of human evolution.
For some researchers, the problem is because technology still needs to learn more about human anatomy. Thus, you will recognize how important bones, tendons and skin are in hand images.
For Professor Peter Bentley, from University College London, the technology understands the generality of the hands, such as the palm, fingers and nails, but still does not recognize the complexity of the limbs.
Accurate identification of shapes and textures is another crucial aspect of realistically reproducing human hands. When we see a hand, we instantly notice the shape, color and texture. However, for AIs, this is quite complex.
In addition, the technology performs image processing to elaborate what was requested, but the mechanism still does not identify details and shapes, such as wrinkles, spots, freckles and the appearance of the veins.
That is, this failure of technology can be solved by providing more data and requesting specific tasks. So AI will understand that human hands have quirk and fine movements.

Even the most famous classical sculptors and painters, such as Leonardo da Vinci, had to study anatomy and develop advanced techniques to reproduce human hands.
Therefore, developers of Artificial Intelligence systems are actively researching how to configure the technology's data so that it builds realistic images of this important member.
Due to the advancement of AI, it is a matter of time for it to acquire such knowledge and be able to apply it in images and in different sectors, such as games and anatomy studies.
