Appeals court pauses Minnesota’s AI nude-image ban for xAI
A one-line order lets Elon Musk’s AI company avoid the state’s “nudification” law while it appeals. The court gave no reasons and has not ruled on whether the law is constitutional.
The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit granted xAI an injunction pending appeal on October 2. Minnesota cannot enforce its ban on tools that “nudify” photos of real people against the company while the case goes on. A lower court had refused the same request in September.
