Yes, she has. It's at the bottom of linked article:
Lena added: “I retired from modelling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too.
We can make a simple change today that creates a lasting change for tomorrow. Let’s commit
to losing me.”
- dahart 4y agoShe supports the movement (started by other people) to retire the image from tech, but she wasn’t particularly bothered by the use of the photo, she has said so in multiple interviews. “In 1988, she was interviewed by some Swedish computer related publication, and she was pleasantly amused by what had happened to her picture.” http://www.lenna.org/ http://www.lenna.org/

- dahart 4y agoOf course opinions can change. I’m not exactly sure what you’re reacting to, but are you saying that Lena’s opinion has in fact changed? It can also be true that she is both proud of and unbothered by the image, and also supports the movement to retire it from tech because of the social implications. Both opinions can be true at the same time, right? It is not a requirement that she hold any regret for her to be in favor of scientists making more professional choices and setting a better example, right?
