Many artists have relied on a muse to inspire their work. Manet used Victorians Meurent, Man Ray had Kiki de Montparnasse and Lee Miller, Picasso had Dora Maar, etc.
In this program, cancer patients fulfill the role of muse when they are teamed with artists to produce work that speaks about the cancer patient’s experience.

"The Brushes With Cancer initiative pairs artists with cancer survivors, who, over a four-month period, serve as muses (or “inspirations”) for artworks to be exhibited and auctioned off at a gala event."
Perhaps that is a role AI can play, as an artist muse.
