AI art has been taking the internet by storm lately. Apps like Lensa AI allow users to take a selfie and have it transformed into avatars, whether it be a goddess, superhero, or Renaissance-era portrait. CEO Alain Ghiai of Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) recently spoke to New to The Street to share his concerns about the data privacy around these seemingly harmless apps.

Ghiai warns viewers about the danger of AI apps because when users engage in these platforms, the platforms gain access to facial recognition. He shares, “these apps, like Lensa AI and others like it, entice people to give away your personal details and your facial unique features, and it's a trap. Essentially you are being fooled to give your facial recognition features.”

Ghiai explains that Big Tech platforms are known for cybersecurity breaches but more concerningly, they sell and rent your data, and the companies and people they sell that data to, are not protecting users’ data from hackers. He estimates that the data lending business is worth around $185 billion yearly.
