Developer uses artificial intelligence to generate photos of non-existent people

The advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have grown to such an extent that now it is being used to create faces
Published February 18, 2019

The advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have grown to such an extent that now it is being used to create faces of people that don’t even exist.

In a first, developer Phillip Wang has made a website with the name ‘This Person Does Not Exist’, and as the name suggests, it makes use of AI to generate infinite variety of fake but plausible-looking people that do not exist.

The website uses a research released by chip designer NVIDIA for creating an infinite number of fake images. The algorithm behind it is trained on a huge dataset of real images and then makes use of a type of neural network called generative adversarial network (GAN) to fabricate new examples, explained The Verge.

Creators concerned over AI that generates believable-looking fake news

“Each time you refresh the site, the network will generate a new facial image from scratch,” wrote Wang in a Facebook post detailing the website. He added in a statement to Motherboard, “Most people do not understand how good AIs will be at synthesizing images in the future.”

Wang told Motherboard that he used a powerful NVIDIA GPU on a rented server in order to create a random face every two seconds. “I have it dream up a random face every two seconds, and display that to the world in a scalable fashion. Nothing fancy,” Wang said.

As of for the pros and cons of this product, where it can be used to create plausible characters for a story, it can also be used for scams.
