The realism of the filters and the technology behind them has raised questions about the limits of facial distortion and the implementation of artificial intelligence in social networks.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although Artificial Intelligence is not exactly a new technology, it has not been until the last few months that we have seen it applied in social networks. One example is TikTok’s Bold Glamour<\/a> filter, which has been used in \u00a046,8 millons<\/a> videos. This is just one example of the new generation of filters that use AI to realistically integrate with the face. Others would be the Teenage Look, which creates a rejuvenating effect, and the Lite Foundation filter, which removes moles and blemishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditionally known augmented reality filters that overlay a particular effect on a face, the technology being used in these newer filters – Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) – is a learning technology that regenerates each pixel of a face based on a set of images. (TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has not disclosed the exact technology behind these new filters, but many filter creators have speculated about this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Snapchat first introduced augmented reality filters in 2015, we’ve seen them evolve from adding elements to make you look like a ‘dog’ or ‘cat’ to something more macabre. Many set a new unattainable standard of beauty and perpetuate Eurocentric colorism and ideals. The result has been an unprecedented rise in plastic surgery and cosmetic retouching, and a subsequent global mental health crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
