    As generative AI tools like Undress continue encroaching on internet usersโ€™ right to privacy, regulations struggle to keep up with innovation.

    In one month, the Undress app hit over 7.6 million visits, with users spending 21 minutes per session. Users of TikTok, one of the worldโ€™s most engaging social media platforms, spend an average of over 10 minutes per session on the app. Undress is a generative AI tool that allows users to input a picture of anyone and get, in return, an image with that personโ€™s clothes removed. Additionally, the site will enable users to input their specifications of preferred height, skin tone, body type and so on. It can upload the photo of their choice and create a deep nude of the person in the uploaded picture.

    Over the last three months, Undressโ€™s global ranking has increased from 22,464 to 5,469. On search engines, the keywords โ€œundress appโ€ and โ€œundress aiโ€ have a combined search volume of over 200,000 searches per month, showing the level of demand for the tool.
