AI nudification tools allow anyone with a photo of your face to generate explicit images of your body without your knowledge or consent. These tools have proliferated in recent years, and their output is recognized under the law in the same way as authentic intimate photographs. The law does not require the victim to have ever taken an intimate photo, it requires only that the depicted person's identity is recognizable and that publication was without consent.

AI-generated nude images spread rapidly through messaging apps, forums, and adult content platforms. ScanErase's biometric scanning locates these images wherever they appear online using facial geometry matching rather than pixel comparison, this is essential for AI-generated content which shares no pixels with your real photos but does share your facial structure.

An increasing number of US states have enacted statutes specifically criminalizing non-consensual AI nudification. California, Virginia, Illinois, and others have passed or are passing specific AI intimate image statutes. The person who created the images using an AI tool may face criminal liability in addition to civil claims. ScanErase's findings document the online distribution for any actions you choose to pursue.
