Lawsuit against AI Undressing Pictures

Tech Spot reports:
One of the most sinister trends to come from the advancement of AI image generation in recent years is the rise of websites and apps that can "undress" women and girls. Now, The San Francisco City Attorney's office is suing 16 of these most-visited sites with the aim of shutting them down. ...

The complaint, which has been published with the websites' names redacted, states that the sites were collectively visited 200 million times during the first six months of 2024. One of these undressing sites advertises: "Imagine wasting time taking her out on dates, when you can just use [the redacted website] to get her nudes."

A typical such site is undressing.ai.

My guess is that legal action will not stop these sites, and people will just get used to the idea of fake nude pictures floating around.

California is also trying to regulate AI:

Academics, open-source developers, and companies of all sizes are waking up to the threat this bill poses to their future. S.B. 1047, known as the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act, mandates extensive safety protocols and imposes harsh liabilities on developers for the potential misuse of their AI models.
A lot of the good AI research is in California, with Google, Facebook, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Anthropic.
