xAI, also known as SpaceXAI, has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to challenge the state's new law banning 'nudify' apps. The company argues that the law, which aims to prevent the creation of nonconsensual intimate images, is an overbroad restriction on free speech and violates the First Amendment. xAI contends that the law imposes strict liability on developers and could force them to restrict image-editing features, even for consensual or artistic content. Minnesota's governor and attorney general have publicly denounced xAI's lawsuit, emphasizing the harm caused by nonconsensual deepfakes.
