Admin’s Note

This article highlights the new risks brought about by the evolution of AI technology. It is particularly concerning that women and minors are disproportionately affected. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, I believe we need to seriously confront this issue. We must raise awareness across society and urgently work on the development of laws and ethical standards. It is essential to have thorough discussions to ensure that advancements in AI technology do not threaten human dignity.
