Summary

Minnesota’s new AI “nudification” ban, set to launch August 1st, is standing firm after a judge denied Elon Musk’s xAI lawsuit seeking a temporary block. The law targets nonconsensual image manipulation tech, with steep penalties including $500K per violation and bans on advertising such tools. xAI argues it’s a free speech issue and claims existing platform rules suffice—but the court found their delay in filing weakens that claim. A hearing for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for August 19th, but for now, Minnesota’s law goes into effect as planned.
