Apple faces a major AI dilemma before announcing the same tool at its World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2024 keynote in June.
The company has reportedly removed multiple apps that can be used to create explicit AI-generated images.
According to the report, these AI-powered apps were creating explicit AI images without people's consent. Apple typically has strict policies against these apps, but we occasionally see apps evading checks through other sources.
With the advent of artificial intelligence technology, apps are breaking all the basic rules and provoking users with promises of AI-based editing, face swapping, and more.
Some of these apps were discovered by Apple when they were being sold through Instagram ads.
It appears that the app was granted access to the phone's gallery by having certain features. This content was then exploited to create explicit images. Apple has strict policies against such apps, especially when they abuse user privacy.
Although Apple has strict policies against such apps, the company only took action against the offending apps after the details were shared in the report.
