The cover photo is a mockup of an advertisement for an apartment search service. This example business model apartment search service finds apartments for professionals looking to relocate around the world and is very localized to communities. Let’s describe the owner of this apartment finder business as a globe trotter with several passports, who have properties in Portugal, UAE, Japan, and Chile.

Here is the thing, not only is the owner of this apartment finder service a fictional character – the woman in the photo mockup is fictional, not a real person, and was generated using graphics-based artificial intelligence. Many of you are hearing about this technology now that social media platforms are using artificial intelligence as a filter to make people look artistic and dramatic. Another use case for this AI face-generator technology is to create a face model for marketing with no need to sign a real person to a deal.

Over at The Manufactured Solution, we have already been researching and developing this face generator technology with the goal I just stated. If everything works as expected, we are hoping to offer every business a unique AI face-generated model to be the “human face” of their business marketing efforts. This will be a powerful tool to convey a human face on digital-first businesses and a breakthrough in having a human connection without having to sign someone to a deal to represent a firm and that AI-generated face won’t do anything controversial.

Let’s give a brief overview of the GAN technology – it stands for generative adversarial network and it is an artificial intelligence algorithm pattern where two algorithms simply don’t see eye-to-eye with each other. One algorithm has all of the real information like the faces of real people and the other algorithm is challenged to create images learning how to create a face but create faces that look nothing like real people but take elements of facial features and generate a new face, causing unique faces to be the output. I wanted to explain this in simple terms but that is the technology.

There are dozens of tutorials on how to develop this and the code is not hard to adopt. You will find the code written in python and you can download python to your computer and gather real faces and run scripts and be delivering output images of unique GAN-based faces in little time. Again, another example of free code available out there but brothas and sistas are on the Internet goofing off and wondering why they broke, admiring some charlatan bragging about getting money but these brothas and sistas do nothing to find opportunities until they see someone else doing it, but it’s too late and they sitting on the sidelines – well, they sitting on the bus going to their Amazon fulfillment center job to pack boxes delivered to them by robots.

One good opportunity is selling NFTs of random face-generated images of beautiful people that look like all the people you found attractive. You make the software generate all the unique faces based on who you thought was attractive and you curate and pick them out and sell them as an NFT collection as part of an NFT drop. That’s just one example of the opportunities out there – there are plenty of examples of AI-generated artwork sold as NFTs for a lot of money.

With that said about our efforts on creating a “face” of the digital brand in the Toshikiso ecosystem and other opportunities like NFTs, one thing someone can do is create a GAN-based modeling agency of these faces curated by someone with a good eye for collecting faces of unique and beautiful people. They can create multicultural people and sell images around the world based on ethnicity, sex, and other traits.  One place they can situate their business is in a Dubai free zone area.

The Ajman Free Zone in the Dubai area is above the Dubai airport and this free zone specialized in artificial intelligence companies. Dubai free zone visas can be established in a short period of time, you will get visas for you, your family, and employees that you can hire from Europe or Asia and buy or rent Lambos and Rraris to drive to your luxury-class villa since you will be making tax-free revenue from your free zone business model.  You only have to be in Dubai a few times a year to maintain your free zone visa so you can travel a lot and enjoy your life while your artificial intelligence setup keeps pushing out new unique faces of digital models for you to license as your revenue model.

Let me explain something – yes, you can put these digital face models on a blockchain and generate a unique hash as a way to verify the image as unique. You can license and transfer AI faces using an exchange with the faces as a digital asset similar to NFTs. People will find value in these unique faces because people naturally like to look at human faces and admire faces. There will be an intrinsic value and demand for these as the opportunities begin to manifest.

The real goal of this article is to show you what kind of landscape we are seeing on the horizon with opportunities and this face generation AI use cases are one of the big ones. The sad part is so many brothas and sistas are chasing charlatans throwing their good money at some clown on social media promising riches and an upgraded lifestyle. Many of these brothas and sistas if they sat their behind down at the kitchen table and just did some real research may realize it’s real and low-cost ways to start digital-first businesses that can scale globally and change the lifestyle up really fast and solid, for real.
