The Dark Side of Open Source: How Hugging Face Enables AI Deepfakes A recent study by European non profit AI Forensics has exposed lax safeguards surrounding the creation of intimate imagery through AI models hosted on Hugging Face's open source platform.
The study found that 73% of user submissions to Hugging Face's Spaces feature were of a sexual nature, with 83% targeting women and 6. 7% seeking minors.
AI Forensics' experiment highlights the ease with which users can create explicit content using these tools. In fact, only 3% of the Spaces audited by AI Forensics had any output moderation in place.
