- Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, is suing the state of Minnesota to block a new law banning AI-generated nude deepfakes without consent.
- The Minnesota law, HF 1606, is scheduled to take effect on Saturday and allows individuals to file civil lawsuits and imposes significant penalties for companies that violate it.
- xAI argues the law is overly broad, infringes on First Amendment free speech rights, and would compel the company to restrict services for users in Minnesota.
- The lawsuit claims the law's definition of 'intimate part' is too expansive, potentially banning depictions like shirtless men or people in swimsuits.
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Governor Tim Walz have publicly stated their readiness to defend the law against xAI's legal challenge.
