The websites are currently legal in Australia, but many do not have adequate controls preventing them from generating images of children.
More than 100,000 people use the “Undress AI” website every day, according to its parent company. Users upload a photo, choose from picture settings like “nude”, “BDSM” or “sex”, and from age options including “subtract five”, which uses AI to make the subject look five years younger.Undress AI is currently legal in Australia, as are dozens of others. But many do not have adequate controls preventing them from generating images of children.
These apps, readily available for Australian users through a quick Google search, make it easy for anyone to create a naked image of a child without their knowledge or consent. And they’re surging in popularity: web traffic analysis firm Similarweb has found that they receive more than 20 million visitors every month globally.
This month she launched new standards that, in part, will specifically deal with the websites that can be used to generate child sexual abuse material. They’re slated to come into effect in six months, after a 15-day disallowance period in parliament. Emily, a parent of one of the students at the school, is a trauma therapist and told ABC Radio that she saw the photos when she picked up her 16-year-old daughter from a sleepover.Advertisement“I mean, they are children … The photos were mutilated, and so graphic. I almost threw up when I saw it.Bacchus Marsh Grammar hit the headlines over pornographic images but activist Melinda Tankard Reist says the problem is widespread.
Tankard Reist said girls in schools across the country were being traumatised as a result of boys “turning themselves into self-appointed porn producers”. Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has said new legislation will apply to sexual material depicting adults, with child abuse material already covered in the criminal code.This month the federal government introduced legislation to ban the creation and sharing of deepfake pornography, which is currently being debated by the parliament. Offenders will face jail terms of up to six years for transmitting sexually explicit material without consent, and an additional year if they created the deepfake.
The federal government has also brought forward an independent review of the Online Safety Act to ensure it’s fit for purpose.
