"The morning started with a message from a friend: “I used your photos to train
my local version of Midjourney. I hope you don’t mind”, followed up with
generated pictures of me wearing a flirty steampunk costume.
I did in fact mind. I felt violated. Wouldn’t you? I bet Taylor Swift did when
deepfakes of her hit the internet. But is the legal status of my face different
from the face of a celebrity?
Your facial information is a unique form of personal sensitive information. It
can identify you. Intense profiling and mass government surveillance receives
much attention. But businesses and individuals are also using tools that
collect, store and modify facial information, and we’re facing an unexpected
wave of photos and videos generated with artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
The development of legal regulation for these uses is lagging. At what levels
and in what ways should our facial information be protected?"
