German artist Mathias Vef and designer Benedikt Groß have teamed up to create a "deepfake camera" that immediately undresses its subjects, with or without consent., is a consumer-sized device that uses AI to generate nude pictures of practically any clothed person in a matter of seconds.
Sure, it's a glaring privacy violation in the form of a compact camera.
reads. "This project prompts a crucial discussion on AI's potential, emphasizing consent, algorithmic fairness, and the societal impacts of AI-generated imagery."In its current form, the NUCA camera is a 15-ounce compact camera, made from 3D-designed and printed parts. An embedded smartphone captures the image and sends it to a Stable Diffusion engine. The AI model adds the face of the real-world subject onto an AI-generated, fully naked body..
It's not Vef and Groß's intent to actually invade anybody's privacy. At this point, NUCA's not much more than a working prototype, primarily designed for artistic expression. The pair plan to show off the prototype at an exhibition in Berlin this summer. Despite being a provocation, it's not a stretch to believe we'll soon see the emergence of similar consumer products. Generative AI tech has come a long way and has already successfully crossed the uncanny valley, producing photorealistic images of both real and fake people.
