AI-powered apps capable of turning real photos into digitized ones are frequently being downloaded in Vietnam, despite bugs in the apps and inherent risks to privacy and personal data.

 

Dinh Thu, who lives in Hanoi, first learned about the AI drawing app FacePlay after her friends on social media shared their AI-generated pictures online. Thu said she felt excited to see people in real photos being turned into digitized characters.

 

The app, which has been popular in Vietnam since last year thanks to its capacity to turn faces in photos into anime or digitized art, became popular again recently thanks to its new AI painting function, which was advertised to be able to draw comic-like characters and backgrounds. On application stores, the program has frequently made the list of most downloaded apps in Vietnam since earlier this month.
