xAI — now officially known as SpaceXAI after the merging of Elon Musk's two companies – has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to challenge the state's new law that would ban apps and websites that can generate nonconsensual intimate images. xAI, it reads, isn't contesting Minnesota's "interest in prohibiting the dissemination of artificially generated nude images of real people without their consent." However, the law "extends far beyond that goal, exposing a wide array of protected speech to civil liability and government sanction." Indeed, it recently sued a user from South Carolina for using Grok to generate nonconsensual intimate imagery using real photos of numerous adults and minors. The new law would fine developers $500,000 every time a user generates a nonconsensual adult deepfake using their products.
