AI apps that rate facial attractiveness fuel looksmaxxing culture and the risk of body image disorders among young people

A growing number of AI apps and websites scan faces and assign them numerical attractiveness scores, or compare users in real time. According to research, they are linked to looksmaxxing culture and increase the risk of body image disorders, muscle dysmorphia and eating disorders among young people.

Business impact

Platforms and apps accessible to children in Britain are subject to the Online Safety Act, which requires assessing and reducing risks from content promoting eating disorders and bullying – this also applies to AI tools that rate appearance, especially where robust user age verification is lacking.

GitHub is shutting down Spark and Models, directing developers to GitHub Copilot

As of 4 August 2026, GitHub stopped new user registrations and the creation of new applications in Spark; existing applications can be exported until 31 August 2026. The GitHub Models inference service for the llm() function shut down on 30 July 2026; applications that do not use it continue to work.

Business impact

Companies that used GitHub Spark for rapid prototyping must move their workflows to GitHub Copilot and arrange and pay for an alternative inference provider themselves for applications that depend on GitHub Models.

Analysis: the concentration of computing infrastructure and skills deepens global inequality in AI

An analysis by IEEE Spectrum describes deepening global inequality in AI: the concentration of data centers and cloud services in the USA, differences in digital skills, the withdrawal of the South African AI policy over nonexistent citations, and the Indonesian BRIN project for local communities.

Business impact

Companies offering AI products in global markets should account for the possibility that models trained in narrow linguistic and institutional environments may not serve users outside those environments well, and for the reputational and regulatory risks of unchecked AI use in public documents, as the South Africa case demonstrated.

Benchling secured multi-tenant AI agent operations using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
