Minnesota passes ban on fake AI nudes; app makers risk $500K fines
Summary
Minnesota becomes the first state to ban nudification apps that can easily undress real people, with fines up to $500,000 for developers of offending tools. The law requires victims' protections and directs fines to services for sexual violence and crime victims, while exempting products that require user technical skill to nudify. Enforcement is set to begin in August, with ongoing debates about cross-border enforcement and potential federal preemption.
