xAI says the First Amendment protects the right to build ‘nudify’ tools

xAI sued Minnesota's attorney general to block a new law banning 'nudification' technology, arguing it violates free speech protections under the First Amendment. The law prohibits creating realistic fake nude images of identifiable people and imposes heavy penalties. xAI claims the law is overly broad and threatens its Grok Imagine tool, amid ongoing legal and regulatory challenges related to nonconsensual sexual images.
