Here's the dark truth behind the AI art trend online
The masses have raised concern over the latest use of artificial intelligence.
In case you missed it, our Instagram feeds have been swarmed with artsy illustrations, characters, and animations of late.
What's been going on is that artificial intelligence systems have been creating digital portraits of people.
With these jaw-dropping masterpieces, there comes a dark side. Some experts have raised concerns about data privacy and the T's and C's that no one seems to read.
Here's the debate about data, intellectual property, and identity brewing:

A huge concern as raised by the TikToker above is that the AI app is able to take your face data and “retain all rights in and to your user content.”
By the same token, using the apps grants the company “perpetual, revocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable, sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works” with your photos. This means that they can use your information for targeted advertising and marketing.
