San Francisco Attorney General Demands Apple and Google Remove AI Nudify Apps from Stores

San Francisco Attorney General David Chiu sent cease-and-desist letters this week demanding Apple and Google remove 13 AI-powered “nudification” apps from their app stores. These tools allow users to easily turn ordinary photos into explicit images by removing clothing, altering features, or swapping faces onto nude bodies, often used for non-consensual deepfake pornography. Chiu warned that hosting such apps violates California laws prohibiting services that support the creation of deepfake pornography.
