Generative AI for NFTs using GANs
Himanshu Tiwari, Ayush Raj, Ujjwal Kr. Singh, Hoor Fatima · 2024
Incorporating generative artificial intelligence (AI) into design and art has upended established creative paradigms, sparking discussions on the validity of AI-generated art and the development of non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces. The US Copyright Office rendered a significant decision in February 2023 that highlights the contentious nature of AI work and the need of human intervention in its commercialization. This paper traces the development of artificial intelligence in neural networks and examines how it has affected visual arts. We investigate the idea of autonomously creating digital art in the NFT style utilizing generative adversarial networks (GANs), with striking results. Our work links deep learning and blockchain, enabling AI to find a place in the digital art market.
