OpenAI and Google AI image generators fail safety tests, researchers warn

Researchers have discovered significant vulnerabilities in the latest AI image generators from OpenAI and Google, finding them easily manipulated to create explicit content. A study conducted across the US, UK, and Australia revealed that these systems can be tricked into generating non-consensual explicit images, highlighting weaknesses in current safety protocols. The findings suggest that regulatory intervention has been minimal in addressing the unchecked spread of such content. AI
