ST. PAUL — Elon Musk’s company xAI sued Minnesota over its ban on AI nudification technology on Monday, July 27, just days before the ban is set to go into effect. Musk’s xAI, which developed the chatbot Grok, argues that Minnesota's law violates the First Amendment and is “an overbroad, content-based ban on free speech and the tools of visual expression in a clumsy attempt to prohibit 'nudification.' ”ADVERTISEMENTMinnesota’s ban — the first of its kind in the U.S. — prohibits AI nudification technology in Minnesota and allows affected parties to sue the platforms that allow nudification for damages, or to sue anyone who advertises that technology. He also filed suit against Minnesota’s law banning the dissemination of political deepfakes. Minnesota lawmakers and advocates were preparing to celebrate the ban going into effect in a news conference Wednesday when the news of the lawsuit broke.
