AI-powered 'deepnude' applications like Undress AI are being used to create non-consensual intimate images of individuals, including children, with over 100,000 daily users and evidence of use in schools including an incident at Bacchus Marsh Grammar where a teenager created nude images of 50 classmates.
Multiple AI-powered applications, including 'Undress AI', allow users to create realistic nude images from clothed photos in under 30 seconds. Undress AI receives over 100,000 daily users globally, with these applications receiving over 20 million monthly visitors according to web traffic analysis. The tools are trained on real images scraped from the internet and offer settings including age modification options like 'subtract five' to make subjects appear younger. A specific incident occurred at Bacchus Marsh Grammar in Melbourne where a teenager was arrested for creating nude images of approximately 50 female classmates using AI tools and distributing them via Instagram and Snapchat. The victims experienced severe psychological trauma, with one student becoming physically ill. A similar incident occurred at Salesian College where a student was expelled for creating deepnude images of a female teacher. These applications currently have inadequate controls to prevent generation of child sexual abuse material. Australia's eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant has launched new standards to address these platforms, with federal legislation introduced to ban deepfake pornography creation and sharing, carrying penalties up to six years imprisonment.
