Daycare used AI to alter girl's grad photo without consent

ctvnews.ca

Parents are speaking out after a daycare used an AI generator to create their three-year-old daughter's graduation photos without consent, raising concerns about privacy and image misuse. The parents, who had explicitly declined permission for their daughter's photos to be shared on social media, discovered the daycare had uploaded her image to a third-party AI website to generate backgrounds. The daycare admitted it had not considered the potential dangers, and the parents worry the image could be sold or misused. Tech analyst Carmi Levy warns that uploading children's photos to AI platforms carries serious privacy implications, as images can be used beyond parental control with little legal recourse. He advises parents to avoid sharing children's imagery on social media and to refrain from using AI-powered photo tools.
