Judge rejects xAI's attempt to block Minnesota's ban on 'nudify' apps

A US judge ruled that Minnesota's ban on apps that generate sexualized images ('nudify') can take effect, despite a lawsuit from xAI. The judge found that xAI waited too long to file its motion, submitting it just three days before the law was set to take effect.

WHY IT MATTERS

This is the first state law in the US to ban such image manipulation, and the case illustrates growing legal focus on AI-generated sexualized content and where the boundaries for regulating AI-based tools should be drawn.
