Her website NVIDIA uses artificial intelligence to create infinite realistic fake faces that do not exist, nor have they ever existed.
Based on her work companys NVIDIA, that we presented to you recently, developer Phillip Wang created the site ThisPersonDoesNotExist, which uses artificial intelligence to create a seemingly infinite variety of fake but completely realistic faces. To see a new person just refresh their website.
The responsible tool that creates these people uses a technology designed by NVIDIA to create faces using a large catalog of photos as standard material.
Some of the results are imperfect, but most of these faces are so realistic that you doubt the thought that these people are fictional. The technical intelligence responsible for all this does not require much computing power. Wang said he uses an NVIDIA GPU on a rented server to generate a random face each two seconds. This isn't a technological achievement so much as an effort to raise awareness of AI's ability to manipulate pictures.
This system is not limited to individuals. NVIDIA technology can already handle cars, cats and bedrooms.
It's a simple project, but it shows the potential advantages and pitfalls of the technology. You could use it to create believable characters for a story, but you could also use it for fake-based scams identities and testimonies. Ideally, a site like this would advance the debate about the ethics of manipulating AI before it goes too far.
