Social networks have been inundated with images created by artificial intelligence (AI) during the last weeks. These are portraits generated by the Lensa AI application, from the Prisma Labs company, whose artificial intelligence feeds on a database of photos of real people to produce pieces of art using the user’s facial features. To create their portraits, users need to upload ten real photos of themselves to the app’s servers. It costs users $7.99 to use the app’s ‘Magic Avatar’ feature to create 50 portraits in different styles, whether inspired by manga, sci-fi, fantasy, and more.

However, cybersecurity experts have raised concerns about the data security of users who upload their photos, starting with the app’s seemingly contradictory terms and conditions, which say that the user retains all rights to the content they generate, but it also specifies that Prisma Labs reserves the right to “use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, and transfer” the content generated by the application. A portrait with a user’s face, for example, can be used in advertising in any corner of the Internet without the user receiving any monetary reward.

The company clarified on its Twitter account that the photos of users’ faces are deleted from the servers after 24 hours, but Mari Galloway, an expert in cybersecurity and AI, has doubts about the veracity of Prisma Labs’ promise. to delete the photos. “They don’t keep the photos and videos for more than 24 hours. But do we really know what they are doing with them? How do they delete them? How is the data encrypted? Galloway expressed to the portal today.com. “We don’t know those details because they don’t share that information with us.”

In addition to cybersecurity risks, the portal TechCrunch discovered that the app can be used to create photorealistic pornographic images of anyone, raising suspicions about the app’s potential to generate deepfakes, photos generated by AI to defame a person. AI apps that generate photos often have content filters to prevent these situations, and Prisma Labs told TechCrunch They are in the process of creating a content filter for these types of images.
