Elon Musk’s X Sues Minnesota Over Law Banning AI Deepfakes Aimed At Influencing Elections

Описание

Elon Musk’s social media platform X sued the state of Minnesota on Wednesday, according to CNBC. The lawsuit concerns a newly enacted law banning AI-generated “deepfakes” intended to influence elections, claiming it infringes on First Amendment rights. Musk is a self-described free speech absolutist and dismantled X’s prior moderation policies after acquiring the platform in 2022. At least 22 states have adopted deepfake-related election laws, citing risks of voter manipulation.
