Young adults are using artificial intelligence to make professional-looking headshot photos.
By Perisha KudhailFilters and Photoshop move over, artificial intelligence is the new trend for creating online profile pictures.
With Remini you are asked to upload eight to 10 selfies, preferably taken from different angles, and all in good lighting. The AI uses those pictures to learn about the way you look. But while previous online image manipulation trends, such as drastically changing your hair or eye colour, have been about having fun on social media, this one is very much focused on LinkedIn and other job hunting websites.Divya Shishodia, 24, a digital marketer, from Australia, says that while AI headshots "are obviously generated, some people might not have the budget to go and get a professional headshot taken".
"I quite often change my looks, like my hair colour… so it was an easy way to collect some pictures with the effect of a professional photoshoot," she says. "To get that kind of photo taken, professionally, it's very expensive." However, she is also prepared to see the other side of the argument. "Someone wrote a comment that I actually agree with - if this company is going to base off looks, I want to get in the room. And if this is going to get me in the room, then I am going to use AI headshots to get the interview."
