WWE Star Calls For Laws Against AI Used To Digitally Remove Women’s Clothing

Recently, Grok AI has been used by numerous Twitter (X) users to remove clothing from images of women without their consent, according to a report from BBC.com. This trend has sparked criticism from various individuals, including WWE star Jordynne Grace. She highlighted this issue when she discovered an altered image of herself, modified by Grok at a user's request, which made her clothing appear transparent.

As of last week’s SmackDown, Grace has been labeled a “free agent” within WWE. She has called for the establishment of laws against the troubling practice of using generative AI to strip clothing from images of women online. Grace quoted a user who had done this to several female wrestlers, stating, “There needs to be laws against this put into place immediately.” The user has since deleted the original post.

The non-consensual distribution of AI-generated intimate images is prohibited under the United States' federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, which was signed into law in May of the previous year. Additionally, some states have enacted laws that extend bans on non-consensual intimate images to include generative AI images. However, many of these laws do not specifically address the AI-driven removal of clothing unless it is explicitly sexual in nature.
