Federal Judge Denies xAI Injunction Against Minnesota’s First-in-Nation AI Deepfake Nudity Ban Elon Musk’s AI venture, xAI , has suffered a legal setback after a federal court rejected its petition for a preliminary injunction to block Minnesota’s landmark law banning non-consensual AI-generated explicit imagery. The ruling keeps the statute the first state-level legislation of its kind in the United States fully enforceable while broader constitutional litigation proceeds through the federal court system. xAI contended that the law infringes upon First Amendment free speech protections. Conversely, state officials defended the legislation as a narrow, targeted safeguard against non-consensual sexual media and digital exploitation.
