San Francisco demands Apple and Google remove AI nudify apps from 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 bad actors to easily create explicit images by removing clothing or swapping faces onto nude bodies. Chiu warned that hosting such apps violates California laws prohibiting services that support deepfake pornography, according to a Wired report.
