xAI’s last-minute scramble to stop Minnesota’s anti-nudification app law

Wednesday, July 29, 2026


xAI filed a lawsuit against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison challenging a state law passed in May that restricts "nudification" apps. The company argues the statute's provisions force it to limit image-editing features in its Grok Imagine product and violates the First Amendment. The law targets applications that create, enhance, or distribute sexually explicit images of real people without consent. xAI's legal challenge is pending in Minnesota courts.
