Minnesota’s AI nudification ban survives xAI’s first court challenge
xAI wanted Minnesota’s AI nudification law paused while it fights the statute. The judge said the company failed to show irreparable harm, pointed to its three-month delay in seeking relief, and noted penalties can reach $500,000 per violation. The law stays active for now, raising the cost of letting tools like Grok Imagine generate illegal or nonconsensual sexual imagery while the constitutional case continues.
