Apple has rolled out an update to its App Store review guidelines, explicitly targeting and prohibiting the distribution of AI-powered "nudify" applications across its digital storefront.
The policy adjustment comes amid growing scrutiny across the tech industry regarding the misuse of generative artificial intelligence. These controversial tools have raised severe privacy and ethical concerns by allowing users to alter images of individuals into non-consensual sexually explicit material.
With these stricter enforcement rules, Apple aims to prevent such software from reaching iOS devices, putting developers on notice that synthetic content generation tools that violate user safety and consent will not be tolerated.
