Scientists train an AI to digitally add BIKINIS onto nude photographs

An AI that scrawls bikinis over nude photographs of women has been developed by scientists to block racy online images. The system, built at a Catholic institute in Brazil, automatically seeks out lewd pictures and digitally adds swimwear to speed up the process of censorsing images. Researchers warned that while the AI was designed to be used for good, cyber criminals could one day reverse the process to erase bikinis from people's photos.
