I had accepted to interview. Before the interview the job description was very vague. After I accepted, during the interview, the person finally told me that they need picture of me to help their AI with machine learning. I'm not sure if this is a scam(I don't know what they will do with my pictures), and i'd like to know if sending pictures of myself to them is breaking up work's ToS. Thanks

It's not a violation of the ToS, but I recommend that you refuse the job. I think that it is more likely that the Client is gathering photos for nefarious purposes like fake ID's. There is already a vast amount of photos of human faces of all ages and ethnicities available via the web, so there is no need to pay many individuals to send a single photograph. Machine learning requires thousands, even millions, of images for good results. I sincerely doubt this person is going to pay $5000 for one thousand selfie photos ($5 minimum x 1000 hires).
