AI tools—including popular LLMs like Claude and Grok—are being increasingly used to harm women. 

Beneath these mainstream platforms and chatbots, an entire ecosystem of websites and forums exists to nudify and humiliate women, according to ISD’s Anne Craanen in her recent interview with The Guardian. 

Anne highlights that these platforms are moving to the mainstream and wider Internet, stating “There is a very fruitful ground there for misogyny to thrive.” 

The Guardian also cited ISD’s Dispatch on nonconsensual intimate deepfakes, which found dozens of nudification apps and websites collectively receiving nearly 21 million visitors in May 2025. 

Anne highlighted that it is not just about producing deepfake nudes—but the spectacle surrounding it. 

“It’s the actual back and forth of it, [trying] to shut someone down by saying, ‘Grok, put her in a bikini,’” Anne said. “The performance of it is really important there, and really shows the misogynistic undertones of it, trying to punish or silence women. That also has a cascading effect on democratic norms and women’s role in society.”
