Minnesota Passes Bill to Ban AI-Generated Fake Nude Images
- Minnesota lawmakers passed a bill banning AI tools that generate fake nude images with a Senate vote of 65-0.
- The law imposes penalties up to $500,000 per use and allows victims to seek up to triple damages.
- If signed by the governor, the law will take effect on August 1, targeting platforms offering such tools.
This legislation aims to curb the misuse of AI in creating nonconsensual intimate imagery, providing legal recourse for victims and empowering the state attorney general with enforcement capabilities.
