Australia's eSafety Commissioner has issued a formal warning to an unnamed UK company. Its two 'nudify' services draw about 100,000 Australian visitors a month and were used to make explicit deepfake images of Australian students. Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said the services marketed undressing "any girl", with 'schoolgirl' and 'sex mode' options. She warned that eSafety could seek civil penalties of up to $49.5 million.
A federal judge in California on September 5 approved Stray Kids member Bangchan's application, filed September 1, to ask X for basic information about accounts that uploaded deepfake videos of him. According to the filing, the videos were edited to show him making sexually explicit comments using racist language. His declaration says they caused him significant mental distress and humiliation.
To avoid a lawyer's fee, a grandparent living abroad asked an AI to draft a guardianship petition for their grandchild. They filed it with a civil court of peace, which rejected it for lack of jurisdiction. Their lawyer says the AI misdirected them: the case belonged in family court, where it is now proceeding.
