Rising Popularity of AI Apps Stripping Women in Photos Raises Concerns

The popularity of AI apps that use deepfake technology to undress women in photos is skyrocketing, with 24 million people visiting undressing websites in September alone, according to researchers. These apps, part of a concerning trend of non-consensual pornography, use AI to recreate images of women in the nude, often without their consent or knowledge. The rise in popularity is attributed to the release of open-source diffusion models that create more realistic deepfakes. Privacy experts are alarmed by the ease and effectiveness of deepfake software, which is increasingly being used by ordinary individuals to target unsuspecting victims. Currently, there is no federal law banning the creation of deepfake pornography, leaving victims with limited legal recourse.

The Rising Threat of Deepfakes in the AI Era.

Experts fear that the development of generative AI tools could worsen the problem of nonconsensual deepfake pornography, which primarily harms women. Deepfakes are videos and images that have been digitally created or altered with artificial intelligence or machine learning. The problem grew as it became easier to make sophisticated and visually compelling deepfakes. Some AI models and social media companies are already curbing access to explicit images, but governing the internet is next to impossible when countries have their own laws for content that’s sometimes made halfway around the world.

The Threat of Deepfake Porn in the AI Race

Experts warn that the development of generative AI tools could worsen the problem of nonconsensual deepfake pornography, which primarily harms women. Deepfakes are videos and images that have been digitally created or altered with artificial intelligence or machine learning. The problem grew as it became easier to make sophisticated and visually compelling deepfakes. Some AI models are already curbing access to explicit images, and some social media companies have tightened their rules to better protect their platforms against harmful materials. However, keeping deepfakes off requires diligence, and a global solution is needed to control the problem.
