15-year-old Elliston Berry had her photo turned into deepfake pornography and shared amongst her classmates at school.

A classmate took a picture from Elliston's Instagram, ran it through an artificial intelligence program that appeared to remove her dress and then sent around the digitally-altered image on Snapchat.

The San Francisco City Attorney's office is now suing the owners of 16 websites that create "deepfake nudes," where artificial intelligence is used to turn non-explicit photos of adults and children into pornography.

These 16 sites had 200 million visits in just the first six months of the year.
