This dangerous application can 'penetrate' women's clothing in seconds thanks to deepfake technology

The technology of deepfake with the ability to swap face with AI is so good that many people can't help but worry about privacy violations. Now, another application is equally dangerous, with the ability to 'see' clothing, create fake nude images with just a click of the mouse, that's DeepNude.

The application also uses AI, but instead of swapping faces, it will turn photos of women even when shooting they are still wearing full clothes into nude pictures.

This dangerous application first launched in March for Windows and Linux operating systems. The scary thing is that DeepNude is completely free and very easy to use, you just need to download the application and try it out. With the free version, this app works quite well with high-resolution images and objects in the form of revealing clothes, will encounter errors with photos of people wearing clothes too long. The premium version is priced at 99USD, giving better image quality.

This application is only capable of creating nude pictures for women but the creator of this application (anonymous) told Vice page that the future will have a male version.

The application author says that the purpose of creating DeepNude is just for fun and justification that without this application, people can do it with a little Photoshop skill.

However, it is not difficult to see that this is an extremely dangerous application, which can be used by bad guys for the purpose of revenge, harassing and threatening women.
