## Resource

Elon Musk’s Grok AI is under fire after being linked to generating harmful, non-consensual images — prompting Minnesota to ban such tech. X.AI rushed to court to block the law, claiming First Amendment violations, but Judge Donovan Frank sided with the state, calling the ban a harm-prevention measure, not censorship. The law, the first of its kind nationally, includes exceptions for art and satire, and a full hearing is set for August 19 — setting a major precedent for AI regulation.
