The increasing prevalence of image-altering filters on social media and videoconferencing technologies has raised concerns about the ethical andpsychological implications of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to manipulateour perception of others. In this study, we specifically investigate thepotential impact of blur filters, a type of appearance-altering technology, onindividuals' behavior towards others. Our findings consistently demonstrate asignificant increase in selfish behavior directed towards individuals whoseappearance is blurred, suggesting that blur filters can facilitate moraldisengagement through depersonalization. These results emphasize the need forbroader ethical discussions surrounding AI technologies that modify ourperception of others, including issues of transparency, consent, and theawareness of being subject to appearance manipulation by others. We alsoemphasize the importance of anticipatory experiments in informing thedevelopment of responsible guidelines and policies prior to the widespreadadoption of such technologies.
