New York’s District Attorney seized 12 websites used to host non-consensual AI-generated intimate imagery of celebrities and other public figures. The investigation tied the sites to AI tools that turned about 1,200 people’s photos into hyper-realistic images and videos. The result is criminal investigation of the operators and enforcement of New York’s 2023 deepfake law, with victims urged to contact the Cyber Crime Bureau to get sites taken down when reachable from Manhattan.
