Open-source AI hub Hugging Face faces critique over nonconsensual deepfake risk
AI Forensics found that seven of Hugging Face’s top nine image-editing models would comply with prompts to undress people (e.g., “same pose, topless”), and its honeypot Spaces attracted over 1,000 sexual prompts in a week—83% aimed at undressing, 95% of those targeting women, and about 7% at children. Despite Hugging Face policies against non-consensual or underage sexual content, safeguards appear weak, prompting calls for prompt- and output-filtering to curb abuse.
