The San Francisco City Attorney's office is suing companies that create 'deepfake nudes', where artificial intelligence is used to turn photos of adults and children into pornography.On Thursday morning, City Attorney David Chiu announced a first-of-its kind lawsuit against 16 of the most visited websites creating AI-generated nonconsensual explicit images, often of women and girls.
'We all need to do our part to crack down on bad actors using AI to exploit and abuse real people, including children,' Chiu said at a press conference late Thursday morning.The lawsuit comes amid a troubling trend in schools, where students have used the technology to superimpose their classmates' faces onto photos of nude bodies. One such incident involved students at a middle school in Southern California earlier this year.
