First-in-nation law sets up test on states’ power to regulate use of AI as it tries to outlaw fake nude images of real people

Elon Musk’s company xAI has sued Minnesota over the state’s first-in-the-nation law banning “nudification” technology on websites and apps, potentially providing a test for how far states can go in constitutionally regulating the use of artificial intelligence.

Musk’s company sued on Monday in federal court, days before the law is set to take effect on Saturday and make Minnesota the first state to try to outlaw the increasingly proliferating technology that lets people use AI to create fake nude images of real people. The law was signed in May.

    Seems weird that fElon, who has killed more people than the Chinese Nationalists but not quite as many as Hitler (yet), gets to have his cake and eat it too with his web of companies. Somehow SpaceX, the parent company, is not mentioned at all here. Almost like they want to put some distance between this action and the tumbling stock. It’s “of course we all work together” or “we don’t even know those guys” depending on what benefits the moment.
