Judge denies xAI’s request to block Minnesota ban on ‘nudify’ apps
A judge rejected xAI’s request to block Minnesota’s ban on ‘nudify’ applications while the legal challenge continues. The law targets tools that use artificial intelligence to create non-consensual sexual images by digitally removing clothing. xAI argued that the restrictions raised constitutional and platform-liability concerns, but the court declined immediate relief. The decision allows enforcement to proceed and strengthens wider efforts to regulate abusive synthetic imagery.
