Apple tightens App Store rules on nonconsensual AI images

The updated guidelines explicitly target AI-generated intimate imagery made without consent. Developers must proactively prevent and remove such content or risk their apps being removed, according to MacRumors, which notes that sexually explicit content was already banned. The Verge says the changes follow criticism over sexualized deepfakes generated using Grok.

• The changes also target deceptive app review practices, according to 9to5Mac.
