16 popular AI 'undressing' websites on the Internet are sued

Ms. Yvonne Meré, deputy judge of the city of San Francisco, mother of a 16-year-old female student, came up with the idea of ​​this lawsuit after reading about the situation of high school students using pictures of their classmates. posting on deepfake websites to create pornographic photos. The female prosecutor has called on her colleagues to sue to shut down 16 of the most popular deepfake 'stripping' websites.

According to the lawsuit, these 16 websites had up to 200 million visits in just the first 6 months of 2024. One of these websites even made an extremely cheeky advertisement: 'It's a waste of time to invite her. What's the point of going on a date when you can use this website to create nude pictures of her.'

The AI ​​models running these websites are trained on pornography and images depicting child sexual abuse. If deepfake images are spread on the Internet, it will be extremely difficult to determine which website created them.

As alleged in the lawsuit, these websites violated state and federal laws regarding pornography.

The situation of deepfake AI being abused to create nude images without the permission of the person in the image has appeared since 2020 and caused victims to go through extremely terrible things.

Improvements in AI technology at the present time, making the images created more and more realistic, have made this situation more serious.

A bot on Telegram is said to have created more than 100,000 photos based on images users posted on social networks.
