San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has escalated the fight against non-consensual digital imagery by issuing cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google regarding 13 'nudify' applications. These controversial tools leverage artificial intelligence to create deepfake pornographic images by digitally removing clothing from photos of individuals without their permission. The city's legal challenge emphasizes the severe privacy risks and potential for harassment these apps pose, demanding that the tech giants enforce stricter moderation policies to remove harmful AI software from their respective app stores.
