DCReport.org reports that multiple U.S. government agencies have issued warnings against the use of AI-generated headshots in professional and official contexts, such as resumes, job applications, and identification documents. Officials argue that these images—though realistic—pose risks for identity theft, fraud, and manipulation.

The warnings emphasize that such use could lead to legal consequences, especially if used to deceive employers, bypass security, or falsify credentials. Agencies are also exploring legal frameworks to regulate the commercial use of generative face technologies.

The trend raises serious ethical concerns and highlights the urgent need for regulation in the generative visual AI space.
