AI technologies have recently been used to create Ghibli-style or anime-like graphics from user-uploaded personal photos.
Users often have no idea how or where their uploaded facial data is kept or used again.
It is potentially possible to create deepfake nudes or phony IDs using those same facial data.
Although ChatGPT doesn't produce images or phony IDs on its own, some people make up claims that it does by using its outputs or combination of programs.
Face data may be taken and misused by unscrupulous actors or third parties if it is not treated securely.
According to online sources, fake Aadhaar/PAN cards are being made using AI-generated identities and faces.
Even when utilized for benign causes, such as Ghibli-style artwork, using someone else's image might turn immoral if done improperly afterward.
What seems like harmless art could become an entry point for AI models to train on personal likenesses.
The majority of individuals don't read privacy policies or understand that their data may be used for purposes other than those for which they requested it.
It is unclear to users whether their photograph can be used for purposes other than art.
To automate dubious outputs, third parties can combine ChatGPT with visual AI techniques (such as deepfake applications).
As of yet, AI art platforms are not subject to stringent regulations regarding the reuse of biometric data.
Platforms are required to be transparent about the duration of facial data storage and if it is utilized for sharing or training.
Stricter regulations are becoming more and more necessary to safeguard consent and facial data in AI applications.
