Federal appeals court pauses Minnesota's AI nudification ban

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted xAI an injunction on Friday, pausing Minnesota's first-of-its-kind law banning AI 'nudification' while the company's appeal proceeds. The law, signed by Gov. Tim Walz in May and passed with near-unanimous support, fines companies up to $500,000 for creating nonconsensual sexualized images and lets victims seek damages. xAI sued three days before the law was set to take effect on Aug. 1, arguing it violates the First Amendment. A lower court had allowed enforcement to continue in early September.
