Artificial intelligence trends on social media pose risks for biometric data
It has been emphasized that popular AI trends on social media, such as the 1980s trend, pave the way for the collection of personal data and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
The rapidly spreading 1980s trend and similar artificial intelligence trends on social media have brought the collection of personal biometric data and cybersecurity risks back to the agenda.
Becoming part of the digital identity
Many images, from ID photos to family albums, are uploaded to artificial intelligence tools. These photos not only revive memories but also become part of the digital identity.
Production of fake content
Thanks to artificial intelligence technologies, images can be animated, voices can be imitated, and realistic fake content can be produced. This resulting data can be used to deceive people around.
More than just a trend
The risk highlighted by experts is not limited to a single social media trend. In previous similar trends based on baby and school year photos, personal data was also transferred to digital platforms.
Permanence of biometric data
One of the most critical points in terms of digital security is that while passwords can be changed, biometric data such as faces cannot be changed and turn into a permanent feature.
Future risks
Where and for what purpose every photo shared on social media will be used is gaining importance. Experts suggest considering not only where photos might appear today, but also in the future.
