A big kick on your safety
Several experts have weighed in on the data breach that could take place. Proton, a platform that works around data privacy, has warned users of how their picture could be used for purposes not agreeable by them.
"From the risks of data breaches, once you share personal photos with AI, you lose control over how they are used since those photos are then used to train AI. For instance, they could be used to generate content that may be defaming or used as harassment," Proton wrote on social media.
"Many AI models, particularly those used in image generation, rely on large training datasets. In some cases, photos of you, or with your likeness, might be used without your consent. Lastly, your data could be used for personalized ads and/or sold to third parties," the post further warned social media enthusiasts.
