Aug 15, 2024, 09:10 PM

San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has filed a groundbreaking lawsuit against 16 websites accused of using artificial intelligence to create non-consensual, fake nude images of women and girls. This legal action, described as the first of its kind, seeks to shut down these websites, which allegedly allow users to 'nudify' or 'undress' individuals without their consent. The lawsuit highlights the growing concern over AI-generated deepfake pornography and its implications for privacy and consent. Several states have already enacted measures criminalizing AI-generated sexually explicit depictions of minors, underscoring the seriousness of the issue.
