Don't use AI to make passeport photo

•

It's been a long time since I've seen big, fat bullshit like this around the use of AI. passphoto.ai/

💸 It's more expensive than a professional passeport photo shot, which is guarantee to be accepted for passeport application. In Luxembourg it cost you 20$.

🖨️ Customers will still have to print the picture, on photo paper, at the correct scale, to be accepted. Since digital photography aren't allowed for most of the country (for obvious forgery concerns)

🧑‍⚖️ It can be considered as forgery in many countries, since it's not your picture. It may even not be allowed anyway. For ex. in France or Luxembourg it have to be made by licensed automated cabin or professional.

🛂 Can you guarantee the biometrical data are preserved by your process? If not, it will result on very very unpleasant situations.

🤖 You'll collect biometrical data of many many many users. In several EU countries, GDPR have been translated with more rigidity regarding such kind of data.

⛔️ Public should be highly sceptical to a service that will collect data that can be used to impersonate you or leads to identity theft or building face recognition tech.

Even if you're coming with good intention, people should not trust you and that's probably the most difficult thing to address in such business. Building trust.
