Minnesota is about to become the first U.S. state to ban AI-generated nonconsensual nude images, with a law set to take effect August 1st — just as Elon Musk’s xAI sues to block it, claiming First Amendment violations. Lawmakers stand firm, insisting the bill targets harmful conduct, not art, and was designed to protect children and prevent abuse material. Senator Erin Maye Quade clarifies that prompts aren’t protected as art, and genuine artistic expression remains safeguarded. Despite the lawsuit, officials are confident the law will survive judicial review, citing its careful drafting and bipartisan support from legal experts, advocates, and even tech firms — all aiming to balance free speech with vital public safety.
