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

San Francisco’s attorney general, David Chiu, sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google this week, demanding the removal of 13 so-called nudification apps from their app stores. These AI-powered tools allow users to easily transform ordinary photos into explicit deepfake images by removing clothing, altering features, or swapping faces onto nude bodies. Chiu's letter warned that the app stores are violating California laws that prohibit providing supporting services for creating deepfake pornography.
