xAI Fails to Block Minnesota's Deepfake Law
Elon Musk's xAI failed to block a new Minnesota law targeting AI-generated "nudification," with a federal judge denying the company's request for a temporary restraining order. The law, effective August 1, 2026, holds AI platforms strictly liable for user-generated nonconsensual intimate images, carrying potential fines of $500,000 per violation.
