A Wired report notes that both Apple and Google have been told to prevent the sale of AI apps that can be used to create deepfake images. They must also “sever” business relationships with all of the developers responsible for the apps.
So-called “nudify” apps have been around for some time. They allow users to create non-consensual intimate images of others, often minors, without the knowledge of the subject.
