News Summary

• Minnesota is the first state to try to outlaw the increasingly proliferating technology that lets people use AI to to create fake nude images of real people.
• Musk’s company xAI sued Monday in federal court, days before the law is set to take effect Saturday.
• The lawsuit argues there is no “safe harbor” provision for companies that make good-faith efforts to prevent such images from being created by users.
• The law is distinct from state and federal laws that outlaw deepfakes, AI-generated sexually explicit images of people without their consent.
