AI 'Nudify' Apps Used as Tools for Blackmail and Extortion
AI 'nudify' apps are being used to generate hyperrealistic non-consensual nude photos of individuals, which are then exploited for extortion and harassment.

Victims are threatened or shamed using these AI-generated images, with little recourse for removal or legal action.
