This Person Does Not Exist

This Person Does Not Exist is a website that uses artificial intelligence to generate a realistic photo of a human being, even though this human being would actually be not real.https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://this-person-does-not-exist.com/en The website had its domain registered and was launched in April 2021 by Phillip Wang.https://web.archive.org/web/20240706025251/https://www.whois.com/whois/this-person-does-not-exist.com
The face generator is powered by StyleGAN, a neural network that was developed by Nvidia in 2018. This generators consists of 2 competing neural networks, one that generates an object, and the second attempting to find whether results are real or generated by the first. The training period ends when the first neural network begins to constantly deceive the second.
The creation of photographs of non-existent people was a by- product: the main goal was to train the AI to recognize fake faces and faces in general. This was made in order to improve the performance of its video cards by automatically recognizing faces and applying other rendering algorithms to them. However, since this code is publicly available, an engineer at Uber was able to take it and create a random face generator, which is this website.
