San Francisco Demands Apple and Google Remove AI 'Nudify' Apps from App Stores

San Francisco 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 or altering features. Chiu warned that hosting such apps violates California laws that prohibit supporting services for creating nonconsensual deepfake pornography.
