Apple, Google face legal pressure to remove AI 'nudify' apps

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

San Francisco city attorney David Chiu has issued cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google, demanding the removal of 13 AI-powered "nudify" applications from their respective app stores. These apps are capable of generating nonconsensual deepfake nude images, and Chiu argues that the tech giants have profited from their in-app purchases while failing to adequately moderate their platforms. A recent report indicated that such apps frequently bypass moderation and are sometimes even promoted, despite policies against sexual content. AI
