AI Image Generators and Non-Consensual Intimate Images

General AI image generation platforms are designed for creative use but can be misused through specific prompting or fine-tuned models to generate intimate imagery of real people. ScanErase allows users to find where their face appears in AI-generated intimate imagery regardless of which specific AI tool created it. Victims of AI-generated NCII from any source, dedicated nudify apps, general image generators, custom fine-tuned models, can discover their exposure.

How general AI generators are misused for NCII

Stable Diffusion, installed locally without content restrictions, allows users to generate explicit content featuring trained likeness models of specific real people. Custom fine-tuned versions of general AI models specifically trained on a target's face are used for NCII generation. Some platforms operate as wrappers around general AI models with NSFW filters disabled.

Platform policies on NCII generation

Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stability AI's commercial API all prohibit NCII generation in their terms of service. Locally installed open-source models have no built-in content restrictions. Enforcement depends on platform-level controls.

Legal framework

ScanErase helps find where your face appears in intimate content generated by any AI tool. Content policies of the AI platform are separate from the obligations of hosting platforms. Intimate AI-generated content that reaches distribution platforms triggers obligations regardless of the AI tool's terms of service.
