xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to block HF 1606, the country’s first law targeting AI nudification platforms. The law takes effect August 1 and imposes civil penalties of up to $500,000 per image generated, with no safe harbor for platforms even those actively filtering such content. Minnesota passed the legislation 132-1 in the House and 65-0 in the Senate after a man used social media photos to generate sexual images of more than 80 women he knew. xAI argues the law is overly broad and could capture political satire or images of people in swimwear, while AG Ellison maintains that AI nudification robs victims of their dignity.
