Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has filed a federal lawsuit against Minnesota, challenging a pioneering state law that prohibits “nudify” apps capable of creating AI-powered fake, sexualized images of individuals. Musk’s lawsuit contends that the statute violates First Amendment protections by imposing what xAI characterizes as an overly broad, content-based restriction on free speech and visual expression tools. According to the civil complaint, xAI acknowledges Minnesota’s legitimate interest in preventing the distribution of AI-generated nude images of real people without their permission. The legislation establishes mechanisms for both victims and the state attorney general’s office to pursue legal action against companies that provide nudify apps.
