US court halts Minnesota law banning AI nudification images

A US appeals court halted Minnesota's AI deepfake ban after xAI challenged its constitutionality.

A US federal appeals court has temporarily blocked a Minnesota law that bans the creation of AI-generated explicit deepfakes. The decision follows a legal challenge by Elon Musk's company xAI, which argues the statute is unconstitutional. The injunction prevents state authorities from enforcing the restrictions while the legal dispute proceeds.

• A federal appeals court granted an injunction halting Minnesota's regulation of AI nudification photos.
• Elon Musk's xAI sued to block the law, arguing that its restrictions violate free speech protections under the US Constitution.
