Concerns raised over Huawei's latest phones amid claims they can 'undress women'

China's tech giant Huawei's latest phone release, the P70 series, is under fire for a built-in AI photo editing function.

Concerns have been raised about the AI editing tool allegedly removing clothing and altering physical features, particularly in women.

According to social media posts on Weibo, the one-click editing feature can partially remove women's clothing and modify their chests.

While some posts claim the feature affects men as well, the majority of complaints focus on its impact on female subjects.

This has led some consumers to question whether this function is "appeasing male consumers."

Others believe that "technological development is a good thing, it depends on how it's used." They say: "Why go to the the trouble of editing and erasing clothes at the chest position?"

In response, Huawei customer services said in an interview with Dahe Daily that the AI function was developed by the company itself, and there were loopholes in the large model algorithm, which will be optimized in the future.
