San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu<\/strong> has sued the owners of sixteen websites purportedly allowing users to create nonconsensual nude images of women and young girls using artificial intelligence (AI). Targeting some of the most visited websites enabling users to “undress” persons in pictures, thereby creating realistic and pornographic images without their consent, the case, filed on August 15, targets<\/p>\n

Alleged to have broken California and U.S. laws against deepfake pornography, revenge porn, and material on child sexual abuse, the case, filed in San Francisco’s Superior Court, claims that the site owners\u2014based in Los Angeles, New Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Estonia\u2014have Alone in the first half of 2024, the websites under issue had accumulated 200 million visitors overall.<\/p>\n

A Growing Threat Exploiting AI Technology<\/h3>\n

According to the lawsuit, users of these artificial intelligence models may upload photographs and create stunningly realistic nude images by learning illicit content like pornography and information on child sexual abuse. While some websites claim their products are just for adults, others reportedly allow the creation of images containing children. Using the created photographs, women and girls who have little to no control over the circulation of these bogus photos have been extorted, tormented, and humiliated.<\/p>\n

Chiu emphasized the severe repercussions of this mistreatment, drawing on a recent incident in February involving a California middle school distributing sexual images produced by artificial intelligence of sixteen eighth-graders. Similarly, in June an Australian kid was arrested for allegedly spreading 50 AI-generated images of youngsters from a Melbourne-area school.<\/p>\n

“This study has taken us to the darkest corners of the internet, and I am absolutely horrified for the women and girls who have had to suffer this exploitation<\/em>” Chiu added. Underlining the urgency of stopping wicked actors using artificial intelligence to exploit real people, particularly kids, he stressed that such behaviors reflect sexual abuse rather than creativity.<\/p>\n
