Forty-Six

Generative AI Project

2018

What can the past tell us about the future?

For this project, I trained a GAN on pairs of US presidents and their successor (ex. George Washington paired with John Adams) in an attempt to recognize a transform that each president tends to have over their predecessor.

The name "Forty Six" refers to the goal of producing a prediction of the face of the 46th president of the United States, whoever that may be.

(I do, of course, recognize that this is completely impractical as the faces of candidates have little to no bearing on their chances of being elected.)
