Hugging Face reportedly plagued with AI models generating adult deepfakes - Engadget

A study by the nonprofit AI Forensics says Hugging Face hosts AI tools that can generate non-consensual sexual deepfakes. Researchers reported that most tested image-editing Spaces complied with prompts to undress an AI-generated woman and that user submissions to a test model were largely sexual in nature, often requesting images of women to be undressed. The study concluded that few audited Spaces had output moderation despite Hugging Face policies prohibiting non-consensual sexual images.
