A hellish new AI threat: 'Undressing' sites targeted by SF authorities
While the ethics of AI-generated porn are still under debate, using the technology to create nonconsensual sexual imagery of people is, I think we can all agree, reprehensible. One such method is “undressing” sites, which take a normal, clothed photo of a person and generate a fake nude version from it. As you might imagine, the potential for abuse here is pretty much unlimited.
San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu is filing suit to take down 16 of the most popular of these sites, he announced in a press conference and an interview with The New York Times. It may not banish this use of the tech altogether, but it may help make its application a lot riskier for the outfits involved in its creation.
