Judge refuses xAI bid to block Minnesota 'nudify' app ban
A US judge refused xAI's request to halt a Minnesota law banning 'nudify' apps, which generate non-consensual explicit images, according to reports. The judge noted xAI's request came just three days before the law was due to take effect; coverage described the ruling as letting the ban proceed for now, without detailing xAI's next legal steps.
Why it matters
The ruling lets a state restrict AI tools that generate non-consensual explicit imagery, a test case as lawmakers target such apps.
