The harmful AI tools allow bad actors to remove clothing, change a person\u2019s features, place them in sexualized positions, and swap victims\u2019 faces onto other people\u2019s naked bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Chiu\u2019s letter warned that app stores were violating \u201cCalifornia\u2019s laws that prohibit<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/california\/code-civ\/division-3\/part-3\/section-1708-86\/\">supporting services<\/a><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>that create deepfake pornography,\u201d Wired reported.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to Wired, Chiu said his office was \u201cabsolutely horrified\u201d by how ubiquitous the nudifying technology has become, victimizing mostly women and children at an alarming scale as more tools became available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese images are used to bully, humiliate, and threaten women and girls,\u201d Chiu told Wired. \u201cThis industry has a horrific impact on one\u2019s reputation, mental health, loss of autonomy. There have been victims who\u2019ve been suicidal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wired reviewed the letters and confirmed that Chiu asked Google to remove five apps and Apple to remove eight. No apps were named in the report to \u201cavoid pushing people toward them,\u201d Wired said. However, one app had more than a million downloads and advertised features to sexualize images of women or make \u201cfree and uncensored\u201d videos, Wired reported.<\/p>\n<p>Chiu told Wired that allowing any such apps to remain in app stores is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenerating non-consensual intimate images is illegal, harmful, and completely unacceptable,\u201d Chiu said. His office estimated that Apple and Google have likely \u201cmade millions of dollars in fees\u201d by ignoring the harmful apps rather than taking stronger actions or developing better detection to avoid profiting off a public nuisance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, San Francisco\u2019s attorney general, David Chiu, sent cease-and-desist letters, demanding that Apple and Google remove 13 so-called nudification apps from their app stores, Wired reported.
