San Francisco demands Apple and Google remove AI nudification apps from stores
San Francisco officials have 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 or videos. Both companies received multiple complaint letters before taking action, though they later confirmed they had removed the offending apps. The controversy comes amid heightened scrutiny of generative AI misuse, following incidents involving Elon Musk's Grok chatbot and a lawsuit by five anonymous women and girls against xAI and Stability AI for allegedly enabling creation of child sexual abuse material. California maintains strict laws against sexual deepfakes.
