Künstliche Intelligenz: US-Gericht stoppt vorläufig KI-Nacktbild-Verbot von Musks xAI
Ein US-Berufungsgericht hat ein Gesetz in Minnesota gegen KI-generierte Nacktbilder vorerst ausgesetzt. Musks KI-Unternehmen xAI hatte dagegen mit Verweis auf die Meinungsfreiheit geklagt.
Washington - Artificial intelligence company xAI, founded by Elon Musk, has obtained a preliminary injunction from a U.S. appeals court against a law in the U.S. state of Minnesota that prohibits the creation of AI-generated fake nude images. The St. Louis appeals court temporarily blocked the law, granting xAI's request. xAI argued that the law was unconstitutional as it limited the freedom of speech protected by the U.S. Constitution.
This law is believed to be the first of its kind nationwide, prohibiting website operators and software developers from enabling users to create realistic images showing intimate body parts of identifiable individuals that are not visible in the original photo. A lower court had dismissed xAI's application just last month. The U.S. federal government had asked the court not to suspend the law, claiming it was necessary to combat the proliferation of materials related to child sexual abuse, which AI products like Musk's Grok Imagine were generating in "shocking" amounts. xAI, however, stated that their product includes "rigorous safeguards" against the creation of such images of real people.
The company has since initiated legal proceedings against users who bypass these technological safeguards.
