US appeals court blocks Minnesota law banning AI-generated nude images in xAI lawsuit
The 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halted enforcement of Minnesota's first-in-the-nation law prohibiting AI-generated fake nude images, granting an injunction to Elon Musk's xAI as the company challenges the statute's constitutionality. The law, which took effect August 1, bars website operators and software developers from allowing users to create realistic images depicting intimate body parts not shown in original photos.
