Technologies have emerged that generate simulated depictions of individuals without clothing, leveraging artificial intelligence. A characteristic of some of these applications is that they do not require user registration or account creation to access the functionality. For example, certain online platforms offer tools that purportedly create “nude” images from uploaded photographs without prompting the user to sign up or provide personal information.
The availability of such technologies raises complex ethical and legal considerations. The ease of access, often without the need for user authentication, can contribute to misuse, including the creation of non-consensual intimate imagery. Examining the evolution of these tools reveals a growing concern among privacy advocates and lawmakers regarding the potential for harm and the need for regulatory oversight.
