Class action suit against AI makers over deepfake child sexual abuse material expands
Page 8/10

Unlike proprietary models such as those made by SpaceXAI, OpenAI and Anthropic, Stability AI's models are open-weight, which means it's much easier for users to remove restrictions that model makers have put in place. What's more, the model maker generally doesn't have insight into user queries. Nonetheless, the lawsuit alleges Stability AI could have restricted its models' ability to generate CSAM but chose not to in its more recent releases.

The Verge reported in November 2022 that Stability AI said it filtered out not-safe-for-work (NSFW) content from its training data to restrict the Stable Diffusion Version 2 model's ability to generate CSAM. This decision drew backlash from users, including one who decried the update as " censorship ," The Verge reported.
