SpaceXAI Battles Minnesota Nudification Ban in Court

SpaceXAI, the SpaceX AI division formerly known as xAI, has sued Minnesota AG to block HF 1606, a law that bans nudification tech—AI that turns clothed images into nude ones—on real people without consent. The suit argues the measure is overly broad, ignores user intent, and could impose enormous penalties that chill legitimate AI use even with safeguards. It also challenges the law’s definition of nudity and cites potential overreach with AI-generated examples; Governor Walz publicly criticized the move on social media.
