Artificial Intelligence and Deepfakes: The Growing Problem of Fake Porn Images

In San Francisco, meanwhile, a lawsuit is underway against the operators of a number of nudify apps. In some instances, the complaint identifies the defendants by name, but in the case of Clothoff, the accused is only listed as "Doe," the name frequently used in the U.S. for unknown defendants. According to the website's imprint, Clothoff is operated out of the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires. But the company has concealed the true identities of its operators through the use of shell companies and other methods. For a time, operators even sought to mislead the public with a fake image, presumably generated by AI, of the purported head of Clothoff.
