Appeals court blocks Minnesota deepfake nudity law in XAI case
Original: US appeals court blocks Minnesota law barring 'nudified' photos in XAI lawsuit
A US appeals court has blocked Minnesota from enforcing its law banning 'nudified' images, which use artificial intelligence to digitally strip people in photos without consent, while litigation brought by Elon Musk's xAI over the statute proceeds. The ruling is a setback for state efforts to curb nonconsensual AI-generated sexual imagery and will fuel debate over free speech and regulation of AI tools.
Why now: An appellate ruling in an ongoing lawsuit between xAI and Minnesota has just paused enforcement of the law, drawing attention to state versus AI-industry legal conflicts.
