A federal judge has denied a request from Elon Musk's xAI to temporarily block Minnesota's new law banning AI-generated nudification technology. U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank ruled that xAI waited too long to file its lawsuit after the bill was signed, indicating a lack of immediate harm. The legislation, signed by Democratic Governor Tim Walz, prohibits apps and websites from allowing users to generate non-consensual sexualized deepfakes and carries heavy civil penalties. While xAI argues that the law violates First Amendment free speech protections and is overly broad, the court has scheduled a preliminary injunction hearing for August 19.
