This Person Does Not Exist

This Person Does Not Exist is an AI-powered face generator that utilizes StyleGAN, a neural network developed by Nvidia in 2018. This technology is composed of two neural networks that work in tandem; one creates and the other verifies whether the first is producing authentic results. The goal of StyleGAN was initially to create a system that can accurately recognize faces, but the development of the random face generator was an unexpected outcome.

The code for StyleGAN is open-source, and an engineer at Uber was able to take it and create the random face generator that made waves on the internet.
