xAI Sues Minnesota Over Law Banning 'Nudify' Apps

xAI, led by Elon Musk, filed a federal lawsuit against Minnesota to challenge a law banning 'nudification' that takes effect Saturday.
The law allows individuals depicted in deepfake images to sue for damages, imposing fines of up to $500,000 for violations.
xAI argues the law is too broad, potentially stifling creative expression and infringing on First Amendment rights, while also stating it already prohibits non-consensual imagery.
