If your hardware supports it, AI upscaling can reconstruct the image to remove compression noise entirely.
Instead, focus on what AI does beautifully: the visible 95% of the frame. You will be far happier with a clean, 4K-sharp, artifact-free video with an untouched mosaic than with a creepy, AI-hallucinated mess that tries to fill in the blanks.
The effectiveness depends on the original video's resolution and the type of pixelation used. High levels of distortion often lead to a "blurred" or "smudged" look rather than perfect clarity. Security Risk:
