An AI algorithm can now predict faces with just 16x16 resolution. Top is low resolution images, middle is the computer's output, bottom is the original photos.
These are both amazing, and horrific at the same time.
Now they just need to train it to understand that most people aren't burn victims, and to round down when guessing how tall someone's face is... But these are good enough that I suspect most of us would recognize the person given the middle pic as a reference.

Finally, we can have true-to-life movies where the detectives get to watch security footage with eagle eyes.
