WASHINGTON, Sept ⁠4 (Reuters) - Elon ⁠Musk's artificial intelligence company ‌xAI on Friday failed to convince a federal ​judge to ⁠block a ⁠new Minnesota state law that ⁠restricts ‌AI tools from ⁠creating realistic fake nude images.

U.S. ​District ‌Judge Donovan Frank ⁠rejected ​xAI's request for a preliminary injunction ⁠against the law, ​which took effect on Aug. 1 and ⁠prohibits website operators, software developers and others from allowing users ​to "nudify" ⁠images of identifiable people ​using AI ‌technology.
