AI-powered ‘undressing’ websites are getting sued


San Francisco is seeking to remove 16 of the most visited sites.

The San Francisco City Attorney’s office is suing 16 of the most frequently visited AI-powered “undressing” websites, often used to create nude deepfakes of women and girls without their consent. The landmark lawsuit, announced at a press conference by City Attorney David Chiu, says that the targeted websites were collectively visited over 200 million times in the first six months of 2024 alone. The offending websites allow users to upload images of real, fully clothed people, which are then digitally “undressed” with AI tools that simulate nudity.
