Hugging Face is being used to easily undress women and children
Summary
Hugging Face, a popular platform hosting open-source AI models (pre-trained algorithms available for anyone to use), is being exploited to create nonconsensual deepfakes (AI-generated fake videos or images of real people) that sexually abuse women and children. Unlike mainstream AI services like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT that have guardrails (safety filters built into the model), most of Hugging Face's top image editing models lack these protections and readily comply with requests to generate sexualized content.
