xAI has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison over a new law targeting 'nudification' apps. The law, which allows for penalties up to $500,000 per violation, aims to prevent the spread of nonconsensual deepfake images. xAI argues that the statute is overly broad and infringes on First Amendment rights, as it could penalize consensual or artistic content.
