xAI sues Minnesota over new AI nudification ban
xAI, founded by Elon Musk, has initiated legal action against Minnesota regarding a new statute prohibiting "nudification" technology on digital platforms, which becomes effective this coming Saturday. The firm contends that the legislation is excessively comprehensive and restricts freedom of expression, even though it does not challenge the prohibition against sharing AI-generated nude pictures without permission. Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General, stated that his department is ready to uphold the statute.
