Court Rejects xAI’s Bid to Overturn Minnesota’s Ban on ‘Nudify’ Apps

A U.S. District Judge, Donovan Frank, has ruled against xAI’s request to block a Minnesota law that bans apps capable of "nudifying" images. The ruling allows the law to come into effect as scheduled on August 1, 2026. Judge Frank noted that xAI’s lawsuit was filed nearly three months after the law was signed, and just a few days before its enforcement, suggesting that the harm they claimed was not imminent.

Despite this setback, xAI’s legal battle is not over. The company argues that this law, the first of its kind in the U.S., is overly broad and that there are less restrictive methods to achieve its goals. The context for this legal action comes after incidents where users of xAI’s Grok chatbot on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, flooded the site with non-consensual sexualized images, prompting investigations and bans related to their content.
