Lensa is free photography app. It is owned by Prisma Labs. In a short time after its launch, Lensa AI has become the most downloaded app in the USA and sixth most downloaded app in India. It turns selfies into unique, colourful avatars. It photo edits very competently.

Lensa is an artificial intelligence (AI) solution that builds new images from a large corpus of other images, The images that ask the app to photo edit will be a part of the corpus and will affect the types of images generated for others. In other words, AI will be trained on our images in some very small way.

Experts caution users to be careful while using the app. There are issues of face identification and iris scans.

There is metadata inside the images, and now it gets used in the model to generate these images is a matter of concern.

Users could unwillingly agree to share personal information. To prevent misuse, there should be a strong password, biometric authorization or two-factor authorization.

The company contends it is within its rights to ‘reproduce, modify, distribute and create derivative works’ of user content. The user content is the original photos submitted by the user for edit and the AI-generated content created with the use of the app.
