Software applications utilizing artificial intelligence to digitally remove clothing from images without consent have emerged. These tools, often promoted as offering this functionality without cost, raise significant ethical and legal concerns. An example includes applications advertised as providing instant “undressing” of photographs using AI algorithms.
The proliferation of such applications carries substantial risks, including potential misuse for creating non-consensual intimate imagery, fueling cyberbullying, and violating privacy laws. Historically, the ease of image manipulation was limited; however, advancements in AI have made it increasingly simple to generate realistic alterations, amplifying the potential for harm.
