A Spanish town has been left in shock after AI-generated naked images of local girls were circulated online.<\/p>\n
Almost 30 girls aged 11 to 17 have come forward as victims in Almendralejo in the province of Badajoz.<\/p>\n
Said pictures were created using photos of the girls fully clothed and taken from their social media accounts. The true images were put into an Artificial Intelligence app which generates them without clothes.<\/p>\n
Mar\u00eda Blanco Rayo, the mother of a 14-year-old, told the BBC: “One day my daughter came out of school and she said ‘Mum there are photos circulating of me topless’.<\/p>\n
“I asked her if she had taken any photos of herself nude, and she said, ‘No, Mum, these are fake photos of girls that are being created a lot right now and there are other girls in my class that this has happened to as well.'”<\/p>\n

But with crimes of a sexual nature the victim often feels shame and hides and feels responsible. So I wanted to give that message: it’s not your fault.<\/p>\n “Women from different parts of the world have written to me explaining that this has happened to them and they don’t know what to do.<\/p>\n “Right now this is happening across the world. The only difference is that in Almendralejo we have made a fuss about it.”<\/p>\n Spanish law does not cover the creation of sexual images involving adults but these images could be deemed child pornography.<\/p>\n The concern is that these AI apps are becoming increasingly commonplace, with AI-generated topless images of singer Rosal\u00eda circulating online earlier this year.<\/p>\n Javier Izquierdo, head of children’s protection in the national police’s cyber-crime unit, said these kinds of crimes are no longer confined “to the guy who downloads child porn from the Dark Web or from some hidden internet forum”.<\/p>\n He added: “That obviously is still going on, but now the new challenges we are facing are the access that minors have at such an early age to such technology, such as in this case.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
