1. Implicit data consent – By uploading images, users may unknowingly give AI companies the right to use their photos for model training.
  2. Privacy risks – AI companies can store and analyze uploaded images, potentially using them beyond avatar generation.
  3. Metadata extraction – Photos may contain hidden metadata (such as location and device details) that can be exploited.
  4. Legal implications – Once an image is uploaded, users may have limited control over how it is used in the future.
  5. Cybersecurity threats – Fraudsters could use deepfake technology or manipulate AI-generated avatars for impersonation and scams.
