Snapchat Reserves the Right to Use AI-Generated Images of Your Face in Ads (www.404media.co)

Snapchat is reserving the right to put its users’ faces in ads, according to terms of service related to its “My Selfie” tool (formerly “AI Selfies”), which allows users and their friends to create AI-generated images trained on their selfies.

Users have the option to opt out of this by toggling off a “feature” in the app called “See My Selfie in Ads,” but according to 404 Media’s testing this feature is on by default.

It’s a bit concerning that Snapchat’s “See My Selfie in Ads” option is turned on by default many users might not even realize their AI-generated selfies could appear in ads. Transparency and user consent should always come first. If you’re curious about other Snapchat features and updates like Snapchat planets order.
