Grok and Other ‘Nudification’ Apps Offered by Google and Apple put Silicon Valley at Center of Global Outrage
Grok generated three million sexualized images in just 11 days after its image-editing feature was released. Google and Apple allowed dozens of “nudification” apps in their app stores, but now say they’ve removed some undressing apps, reports The Mercury News.
For companies like xAI, Google and Apple, the availability of undressing apps represents a leadership failure, said Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics.
Reputational hits like the ones they’re taking now erode value in the company,” Skeet said. “They’re actually doing harm to the very entity that they’re responsible for leading.”
