AWS releases TorchNeuron to move PyTorch AI apps onto Trainium
Amazon says the tool needs only a configuration change and plans to contribute changes that make PyTorch less dependent on specific chips.
Apple tightens App Store rules against concealed nudification features
The revised guidelines also strengthen moderation requirements for AI and user-generated content and prohibit apps promoting trafficking or child exploitation.
Apple has revised its developer rules to prohibit apps that generate offensive material using artificial intelligence or conceal nudification capabilities until after App Store approval. The changes target developers that present an app as serving another purpose during review before revealing harmful features.
Apple said apps hosting user-generated content must screen out objectionable material, provide tools for reporting offensive content and allow users to block abusive accounts. It also said it would remove apps that introduce features absent from the version reviewed for approval.
The company separately strengthened wording in the guidelines’ legal section to bar apps that promote human trafficking or the exploitation of children.
The changes follow a July order from San Francisco directing Apple and Google to remove nudification apps from their stores. City Attorney David Chiu accused both companies of earning money from the apps through store fees.
An April report by the Tech Transparency Project found multiple nudification apps in both companies’ stores, including some carrying age ratings that deemed them appropriate for minors.
