ManiFaceApp has taken the internet by storm. There are a lot of exciting Apps that have come out in the past couple of years, but none has made the kind of ruckus that FaceApp did.
FaceApp came out of no-where and it did not really introduce anything new.
It did however, dramatically improve VR Augmentation and AI Picture manipulation, almost perfecting it and becoming one of the most popular apps in the market.
With popularity comes criticism, and FaceApp, a program that features an AI-powered tool that artificially ages a person’s face in a photo, is proving popular again — igniting a heated discussion over how users approach their privacy.
In this age of social media and hyper news cycles, it is easy to hurl allegations and forget about them. Leaving the accused in a never ending cycle of giving explanations to clear their names.
The FaceApp app allegations and counter arguments raises two very interesting questions. 1). The users of smart phones apps really do not see privacy and security through a traditional lens and 2). It is relative easy to plant doubt about security of one app over the other based on its country of origin.
Interestingly, in either case it doesn’t mater to the user base at all, as long as it is free they will use it.
Tech and scientific advancements like these make you wonder what the advancements and innovations will be up and coming in the next decade alone.
Creating a new technology or gadget is one challenge, and making it accessible through mass production for mass market adoption is another feat in itself. While not true for all innovation, however unfortunately, most new and exciting technologies that we see or hear about in the news fails to reach a value proposition for mass adoption.
What I want to learn is if this is a short lived fad or does this actually have any potential for businesses to adopt. Most importantly can it be monetized?
I try to post science and technology related articles on my website, one for referencing back when you are writing something or researching, and two to share with everyone.
