Commentary: Google wants you to upload photos of yourself so it can use AI to show you what you'd look like wearing different clothes. In the absence of more details about privacy protections, there are good reasons not to.

Google's new AI-powered shopping feature, which allows users to virtually try on clothes using a photo of themselves, has raised significant privacy concerns. The feature, part of Google's virtual try-on tool, uses a submitted photo to show how clothes would fit on the user's body, but it requires users to upload a full-body image, sparking worries about how Google will use and store these images. Critics argue that this tool could lead to potential misuse of personal data, with fears that the images might be used for targeted advertising or even shared with third parties. Google has stated that it uses the images solely to improve the try-on experience and that the photos are not used for other purposes, but the lack of transparency and the history of data breaches and privacy issues with tech companies have left many users skeptical and uneasy about the feature.
