OpenAI, Google pushing new AI models easily tricked into making nudes, researchers say

What happened: Safety researchers say AI-generated explicit content is spreading unchecked, and recent red-teaming suggests leading image generators from Google and OpenAI may be getting worse at blocking explicit outputs. Why it matters: Google researchers concluded the most critical intervention point remains the harmful AI tools used to make the fake sexual images, while regulators do little to stop the spread. Key numbers: A Google co-authored study from this July examined internet users across the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
