Elon Musk旗下的xAI公司于周一向联邦法院提起诉讼，挑战明尼苏达州颁布的禁止"裸照生成"技术的法律[1]。该法律由明尼苏达州于5月签署，系全美首个此类禁令，将于周六生效[1]。xAI在长达38页的诉讼中辩称，该法律对"隐私部位"的定义过于宽泛，违反言论自由原则，且缺乏对善意执行公司的"安全港"条款保护[1]。根据该法律规定，每次违规将面临50万美元的罚款[1]。
明尼苏达州司法部长Keith Ellison为该禁令进行了辩护，表示"使用AI生成他人裸照是令人厌恶的行为"[1]。xAI则指出，其Grok服务条款已禁止将该工具用于"任何非法、有害或滥用行为"，包括未经授权修改他人形象[1]。Grok曾于1月宣布将在特定地区实施地理围栏技术，以防止对真人照片的非法编辑[1]。
Elon Musk's xAI has filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Minnesota's groundbreaking law prohibiting the creation of nude imagery through artificial intelligence [1]. The legal challenge came just days before the legislation was set to take effect on Saturday [1].
Minnesota became the first state in the nation to enact such a ban when it signed the law in May [1]. According to xAI's 38-page complaint, the statute defines "intimate body parts" too broadly and lacks adequate protections for companies acting in good faith, raising concerns about compliance uncertainty [1]. The company also argued the law violates free speech rights [1]. The law imposes a penalty of $500,000 for each violation [1].
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison defended the measure, stating that "using AI to generate nude images of other people is reprehensible conduct" [1]. For its part, xAI emphasized that its Grok service already prohibits use for "any illegal, harmful, or abusive conduct," including altering images of real people [1]. In January, Grok announced plans to implement geographic fencing in specific regions to prevent the editing of authentic photographs [1].
