Telegram bot used AI to create fake nude images of over 100,000 women
A Telegram bot used artificial intelligence to digitally remove clothes from photos of women, creating fake nude images. The bot, run by an administrator known as 'P', was used to generate and share images of over 100,000 women, some of whom appeared underage. The report by intelligence company Sensity alleges that the bot was used to create and distribute the images without consent. The administrator defended the service as 'entertainment' and claimed he would remove the images.
