MP Maria Miller is pushing for a parliamentary debate on whether digitally generated nude images should be banned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes after another service, which allows users to strip women in photos using artificial intelligence, quickly circulated on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The affected site has been viewed more than five million times in June alone and features celebrities, including an Olympic athlete, as one of those who users allegedly exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DeepSukebe’s website promises users it can “reveal the truth hidden under clothes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to its Twitter account, the person behind it has never been identified is an “AI-leveraged nudifier” whose mission is to “make all men’s dreams come true”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miller said it was time to consider banning such tools, saying it should be a criminal offence to distribute sexual images online without consent to show “the severity of its effect on people’s lives.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She wants the issue to be addressed in the forthcoming Online Safety Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are still similar services on the market, many of which use the DeepNude source code made available to the public by the original developers.<\/p>\n\n\n
