Elon Musk’s xAI Sues Minnesota Days Before State Ban on AI Nudification Apps

The Associated Press reported yesterday that Minnesota AG Ellison hasn’t been served with the lawsuit yet.

“But I know that using AI to generate nude images of people against their will is appalling. There are plenty of worthy debates to have about AI policy,” Ellison says. “This is not one of them. AI nudification robs the target of their dignity and can cause immense harm on an emotional, personal, and professional level.”

At the end of last year, xAI announced that Grok had the power to edit any image on the platform, including with its “spicy” mode. This led to an avalanche of unwanted content as women found their faces were being used in explicit images. According to The Verge, over 11 days across the New Year, there were three million such images created, with 23,000 of those depicting children.

Only Elon would sue over his supposed right to create and profit off of child pornography.
