QuoteAI driving 'explosion' of fake nudes as victims say the law is failing them

There's been a huge rise in sexually explicit deepfakes as software to digitally transform a clothed picture into a naked picture is easy to get hold of, according to online harm experts.


Campaigners are warning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create realistic but fake nude images of real women is becoming "normalised".

It's also an increasing concern in schools.
A recent survey by Internet Matters found 13% of teenagers have had an experience with nude deepfakes.

Ofcom will later this month introduce codes of practice for internet companies to clamp down on the illegal distribution of fake nudes.

Earlier this year, social media influencer and former Love Island contestant, Cally Jane Beech, 33, was horrified when she discovered someone had used AI to turn an underwear brand photograph of her into a nude and it was being shared online.

The original image had been uploaded to a site that uses software to digitally transform a clothed picture into a naked picture.
