"Grant said such nudify services, which allow users to make images of real people appear naked using AI, have had a devastating effect in Australian schools. We took enforcement action in September because this provider failed to put in safeguards to prevent its services being used to create child sexual exploitation material and were even marketing features like undressing any girl,' and with options for schoolgirl' image generation and features such as sex mode,' Grand said in a statement."
"The development comes after Grant's office issued a formal warning to the United Kingdom-based company behind the sites in September, threatening civil penalties of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars ($32.2m) if it did not introduce safeguards to prevent image-based abuse. Grant said Hugging Face, a hosting platform for AI models, had separately also taken steps to comply with Australian law, including changing its terms of service to require account holders to take steps to minimise the risks of misuse involving their platforms."
Three 'nudify' websites used AI to create non-consensual nude images and received approximately 100,000 Australian visits per month. The sites withdrew from Australia following an official warning and the prospect of civil penalties up to 49.5 million Australian dollars for failing to implement safeguards. Marketing on the platforms promoted features such as 'undressing any girl', 'schoolgirl' image generation and a 'sex mode'. A hosting platform for AI models also changed terms of service to require account holders to minimise misuse risks. Australia has implemented measures banning social media for under-16s and targeting apps used to create deepfakes and enable stalking.
