Delhi Police Warns of Cyber Risks in 1980s AI Photo TrendPreviousNext

Delhi Police has issued a warning about the popular 1980s AI photo trend that transforms modern selfies into retro-style images. Authorities caution users against uploading personal photos to unfamiliar AI platforms, highlighting risks such as fake profiles, blackmail, and cyber fraud. The police advise vigilance when clicking links offering AI filters and recommend reporting cybercrime incidents via official channels. The advisory emphasizes that while the trend appears nostalgic, it may expose users to privacy and security threats.
