US EditionEU Moves to Ban “Nudify” Apps After Grok Made Them Mainstream
European Parliament committees approved banning AI apps producing non-consensual sexual images to address gender-based cyberviolence and child abuse risks.
- Two European Parliament committees backed proposals yesterday to ban AI "nudification" apps that generate non-consensual sexual images of adults and children.
- Recent reports of AI-powered nudity applications like Grok sparked global outrage, as freely available online tools facilitate gender-based cyberviolence and child sexual abuse material creation.
- Independent MEP Michael McNamara said, "AI must never be used to humiliate, exploit or endanger people." The proposal shifts regulation to punish platforms enabling non-consensual sexual material.

- MEPs also supported postponing certain high-risk artificial intelligence rules, suggesting extension until 2 November 2026 instead of the current August 2 deadline, as key standards may not be finalized.
