AI-generated nude images of Spanish children spark legal debate over child pornography
More than 20 girls in the Spanish town of Almendralejo received AI-generated nude photos of themselves, sparking debate over whether deepfakes can be legally punished, Euronews reports. The images were reportedly altered using the app ClothOff ("Undress AI, Undress girl for free!") and shared in WhatsApp groups. The images don't show the girls' real bodies, but are still causing great distress to the victims, some of whom are as young as 11. The national police have launched an investigation and authorities are considering whether the images in circulation could be considered child pornography.
