Investigation finds Hugging Face is being used to generate unauthorized nude images of women and children, with no preventive measures in place

AI Forensics found that 7 of 9 image-editing models on Hugging Face Spaces could generate sexual images of women with simple prompts.

Analysis of more than 1,000 inputs to a dummy Space showed sexual requests made up a large share, mostly targeting women and some involving minors.

The findings highlight weak safeguards against non-consensual intimate image generation on a widely used AI-sharing platform.

The report raises concerns about escalation of deepfake abuse and the risk of child sexual abuse content.
