OpenAI, Google pushing new AI models easily tricked into making nudes, researchers say

Ars Technica reports: Safety researchers continue to warn that a large volume of AI-generated explicit content is spreading unchecked, while regulators do little to meaningfully stop it.

This non-consensual content is commonly shared in text and direct messages or stored in private clouds where it’s less likely to be detected or reported, a Google co-authored study of Internet users across the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom found this July.

This technology story centres on the United States. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include Google, AI and AI-generated.
