US appeals court blocks Minnesota’s AI ‘nudification’ law for now in XAI lawsuit
The court said xAI can keep challenging the statute, which Minnesota says was enacted to curb AI-generated child sexual abuse material.
- On Friday, the St. Louis-based 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted an injunction halting Minnesota's ban on AI-generated fake nude images, pausing the measure while xAI pursues a lawsuit alleging it violates the US Constitution.
- Minnesota adopted the "nudification" law this year to combat the spread of child sexual abuse material generated by AI products, while xAI alleges the restriction infringes upon free speech protections.
- US District Judge Donovan Frank rejected the company's initial request for an injunction last month, ruling xAI failed to show irreparable harm; the firm disputed this finding in its appeal.
- Grok Imagine includes "rigorous protections" against creating sexualized images of real people, according to the company, which has begun suing users who allegedly evade these technological blockers.
- The injunction keeps the state law on hold for now as the legal challenge continues; Minnesota had urged the appeals court not to block the measure, and both parties did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
