However, these bans are easily circumvented using VPNs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Technology Behind AI Image Generation<\/strong>: AI image generators use diffusion models trained on real images to learn to reverse adding noise, resulting in the ability to alter images even to the point of removing clothing, though the AI lacks understanding of consent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Retrospective Alignment and Content Control<\/strong>: Companies attempt to align AI behaviour with ethical principles through retrospective alignment, but this only limits output rather than removing capabilities. Mainstream social media platforms have the power to restrict certain imagery but tend to lag in implementing strict content moderation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Challenges of \u201cJailbreaking\u201d<\/strong>: Users can bypass AI\u2019s content filters via \u201cjailbreaking,\u201d reframing prompts using fiction or educational contexts, to generate prohibited content. This undermines any implemented restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Scale and Challenge of Regulation<\/strong>: Generative AI increases the speed and volume of producing illegal content, overwhelming authorities&#8217; current moderation and investigation capabilities. Ambiguous or unenforceable laws complicate international policing, mirroring historical challenges in dealing with child abuse material.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Continuous Demand and Capabilities<\/strong>: Given the present technology and high demand, the capability to create illegal sexual content cannot be entirely eradicated. Even if restricted, the technology remains accessible for non-compliant users and those using alternative platforms or self-hosted tools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What can technology do to stop AI-generated sexualised images? https:\/\/theconversation.com\/what-can-technology-do-to-stop-ai-generated-sexualised-images-273327 Publish Date: 2026-01-13 08:04:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":177430,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/712140\/original\/file-20260113-62-iaa28f.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&rect=0%2C317%2C3422%2C1711&q=45&auto=format&w=1356&h=668&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-177429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-generative-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177429"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177429"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177431,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177429\/revisions\/177431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
