xAI sues Minnesota over AI nudification ban

xAI, a company owned by Elon Musk, says a new Minnesota law that stops AI from making fake nude pictures is too strict.

The law stops any AI-made nude image of a real person without their permission, but xAI says it also stops other protected pictures.

xAI’s chatbot, Grok, is used on the social media app X. The company says it stops people from making or sharing illegal pictures and can suspend accounts.

Minnesota’s law survived a court challenge and is different from federal rules that punish people who create fake images.

xAI also sued a user who used Grok to create illegal child pictures, showing it takes enforcement seriously.
