Minnesota Bans AI Nudification | Fargo News

A federal judge has denied xAI’s last-minute emergency request to block Minnesota’s new AI “nudification” ban, which went into effect August 1 — just days after the company filed its appeal. The law, backed by overwhelming state support, targets AI-generated intimate images and carries steep fines. xAI argued the definition was too broad and feared financial penalties, even planning to restrict tools for Minnesota users. But the judge sided with the state, calling the delay suspicious and noting the harm wasn’t urgent. While the immediate block failed, legal battles over a broader injunction continue through mid-August — as Minnesota prepares to enforce its landmark AI regulation.
