Moscow Court Bans AI Nude Generation from Russian Photos
A Moscow court ruled that the use of photos of Russian citizens to generate nude or pornographic images via an AI system is illegal, following a complaint by Roskomnadzor. The AI platform, which promoted itself with the slogan 'undress your friend with AI,' operated through foreign services and lacked verified consent for data processing.
