San Francisco Orders Apple and Google to Remove AI Nudify Apps from App Stores

San Francisco Attorney General David Chiu sent cease-and-desist letters this week demanding Apple and Google remove 13 so-called nudification apps from their app stores. These AI-powered tools allow users to easily transform ordinary photos of real people into explicit deepfake images by removing clothing, altering features, or swapping faces onto nude bodies. Chiu warned that the app stores are violating California laws that prohibit supporting services used to create deepfake pornography.
