Prof. Elgammal developed a variant of GAN called CAN (“creative adversarial networks”) based on a theory of how new artistic styles evolve. AICAN (AI Creative Adversarial Network) was designed as an autonomous AI artist and collaborative creative partner. AICAN is the first machine generated artist to pass the Turing Test.

AICAN has partnered with SuperRare to bring its Faceless Portrait Transcending Times series, Permutation series and Birth of Venus to NFT.
