Software applications employing artificial intelligence to modify images in a manner considered “Not Safe For Work” manipulate visual content to include depictions of nudity, sexually suggestive poses, or other material deemed inappropriate for professional or public viewing contexts. As an example, an image might be altered to remove clothing or introduce explicit elements.
The capacity to generate or modify sexually explicit imagery raises ethical concerns regarding consent, privacy, and the potential for misuse. The technology’s existence facilitates the creation of non-consensual pornography, deepfakes, and the propagation of harmful stereotypes. Historically, image manipulation was a complex and time-consuming process, but AI-powered tools have democratized access to these capabilities, amplifying both the potential for creative expression and the risk of malicious application.
