The regulator Ofcom investigated Itai Tech Ltd, which provides AI tools allowing users to edit images to seemingly remove someone's clothing. On Thursday, Ofcom said it had fined the company 50,000 for its age check failings, plus an additional 5,000 for not responding to its information requests. BBC News has contacted Itai Tech Ltd for comment. The nudity website it runs is currently not accessible from a UK IP address.

With the November Pixel Drop, Google Messages is introducing a new Remix feature that lets users edit and recreate images directly within the app. The feature is powered by Google's Nano Banana image generation model. Next, Google is rolling out AI-powered summaries for notifications from messaging apps. This feature will generate concise summaries for lengthy conversations directly in the notification shade. Additionally, starting in December, low-priority notifications will be automatically grouped and silenced under specific categories.

Google first provided editing capabilities in Gemini earlier this year, and the model was more than competent out of the gate. But like all generative systems, the non-deterministic nature meant that elements of the image would often change in unpredictable ways. Google says nano banana (technically Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) has unrivaled consistency across edits-it can actually remember the details instead of rolling the dice every time you make a change.
