The National Insurance Institute in Israel has joined a viral social media trend, using artificial intelligence to create images of people as they might have looked in the 1980s. This initiative is part of the institute's broader strategy to engage with the public on social media platforms, moving away from a purely institutional image.
The trend involves users processing current photos with AI to generate visuals reminiscent of the 1980s, often featuring characteristic hairstyles, colorful windbreakers, and distinctive eyewear.
