In December 2025, Morgan Dorfman received distressing news: a student at her daughter’s Pennsylvania high school was making AI-generated pornographic material using the daughter’s image. He was using an artificial intelligence image-editing app called Movely to create sexual videos from pictures of her daughter and five other girls. What Dorfman’s daughter experienced is not an anomaly: students in high schools across the US are reporting similar cases. Their classmates are generating nonconsensual pornographic or nude imagery using so-called “nudify apps”. Governments around the world have moved to ban these AI platforms from app stores, and most US states have implemented laws that criminalize possession of AI-generated child sexual abuse material. However, in spite of regulations prohibiting them, nudification apps are still proliferating and remain accessible to teens, according to a report from the digital advocacy group Tech Transparency Project (TTP) shared exclusively with the Guardian and released on Monday. TTP researchers created four test accounts, two Apple accounts and two Google accounts, indicating the account holders were 13 years old.

How the Xbox’s Disc-to-Digital Program Works - WIRED

After Sony announced plans to abandon physical discs by 2028, all eyes turned to Microsoft to see whether its next-gen console, codenamed Project Helix and described as “an open-platform hybrid PC-console,” will continue to support physical media. Microsoft has largely stayed silent (though there are plenty of reasons to keep an easily accessible 4K Blu-ray drive for consumers). One big hint that Xbox may be gearing up for a disc-less future, though, is the rollout of a feature called Disc to Digital. The new tool lets players claim digital copies of their Xbox Series X or Xbox One physical games, making them accessible anywhere they can log into their Xbox account. After a month of beta testing for Xbox Insider users, the feature is now open to everyone, and you don't even need an Xbox Game Pass subscription. In theory, it allows anyone to archive their physical collections—but it’s not without a few complications. Insert Disc to ContinueSo, how does it work?
