Minnesota considers blocking 'nudify' apps that use AI to make explicit images without consent

Minnesota is taking steps to combat the misuse of AI technology in creating non-consensual explicit images, known as 'nudification.' A proposed bill, backed by bipartisan support, aims to hold companies accountable for allowing users to generate such content. The legislation seeks to prevent the creation of these harmful images before they can spread online.

The bill would impose significant penalties on operators of nudification sites who fail to restrict access to Minnesota users. Advocates argue that the rapid advancement of AI technology necessitates these restrictions to protect victims from humiliation and exploitation. However, legal experts warn that the bill may face constitutional challenges regarding free speech.

• Minnesota proposes legislation to regulate AI-generated explicit content.

• Bipartisan support aims to prevent non-consensual nudification before it spreads.
