"The Tech Transparency Project found that both the App Store and Google Play aren't just hosting nudify apps. Their search and advertising systems are actively pointing users toward them."
"Nudify apps are AI tools that can digitally strip clothing from photos of real people. They can also generate pornographic videos or create sexually explicit chatbots using someone's likeness."
"About 40% of the top 10 results for each term returned apps that could render women nude or scantily clad. Both platforms ran paid ads for nudify apps within those results."
"The apps identified across both stores have been downloaded 483 million times and earned over $122 million in lifetime revenue, which may explain why enforcement has been lax."
An investigation by the Tech Transparency Project revealed that Apple and Google are not only hosting harmful nudify apps but also directing users to them through search results and advertisements. These apps, which can digitally strip clothing from photos and create explicit content, include 31 rated suitable for minors. Searches for terms like 'nudify' and 'AI NSFW' returned numerous inappropriate apps, with both platforms running paid ads for them. The apps have been downloaded 483 million times, raising concerns about enforcement due to revenue sharing.
