Judge rules Minnesota’s AI nudification ban will remain in effect amid ongoing lawsuit from X.AI

A Minnesota court denied X.AI's request for a temporary restraining order, allowing the state's AI nudification ban to take effect on August 1. The law prohibits software that digitally alters images or videos to make people appear nude without consent, with X.AI challenging it as an overbroad free speech restriction. The lawsuit will continue with briefings and hearings scheduled for next month.
