A federal judge has ruled against xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, in its attempt to block Minnesota's new law that prohibits the creation and distribution of AI-generated non-consensual nude images. The judge decided to allow the law to remain in effect while the constitutional challenge proceeds, indicating that the ban on "nudification" technology will continue. AI
