San Francisco sues 16 AI undressing websites for creating fake nudes
The San Francisco City Attorney's office is suing 16 AI-powered websites that allow users to upload photos of real people and generate nude deepfakes without consent. The lawsuit alleges the sites violate state and federal laws against revenge pornography and child pornography. The websites were visited over 200 million times in the first half of 2024. The city seeks to take the sites offline and impose civil penalties.
