San Francisco demands Apple and Google remove AI nudification apps from app stores
San Francisco has pressured Apple and Google to remove AI-powered 'nudification' apps from their app stores, which allow users to create non-consensual sexual deepfakes by digitally undressing people in photos. Both companies received multiple complaint letters before taking action, but have since confirmed they removed the offending apps. The article notes California's strict stance on sexual deepfakes and generative AI misuse, referencing a prior incident involving Elon Musk's Grok chatbot that enabled similar abuse. It also mentions a lawsuit by five anonymous women and girls against xAI and Stability AI for allegedly using their photos to create child sexual abuse material. The report highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of AI-generated harmful content on major platforms.
