First-in-nation law sets up test on states’ power to regulate use of AI as it tries to outlaw fake nude images of real people Elon Musk’s company xAI has sued Minnesota over the state’s first-in-the-nation law banning “nudification” technology on websites and apps, potentially providing a test for how far states can go in constitutionally regulating the use of artificial intelligence. Musk’s company sued on Monday in federal court, days before the law is set to take effect on Saturday and make M

xAI is suing Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison over a law passed back in May that broadly targets "nudification" apps, claiming that the statute's punitive provisions leave the company with "no practical choice but to restrict Grok Imagine's image-editing features in various ways." The law, the company argues, violates the First Amendment. Back in January, […]

SpaceXAI part en croisade contre une loi du Minnesota interdisant les technologies de « nudification », qui permettent de générer des deepfakes dénudés de personnes réelles. L’entreprise est la première concernée, puisque son chatbot Grok est massivement utilisé pour créer ces images. En début d’année, Grok était sous le feu des critiques : le chatbot de xAI […]

To this end, we introduce Math Education Digital Shadows (MEDS), a dataset mapping how LLMs reason about mathematics across human- and AI-like personifications.

Counterfactual explanations are a prominent approach in explainable artificial intelligence (xAI), providing actionable guidance on what input changes would alter a model's prediction to a desired outcome. While early methods primarily focused on minimal feature changes, recent work incorporates additional properties such as sparsity, actionability and plausibility. Despite this progress, fair and systematic evaluation remains challenging. Existing studies often rely on different data splits, pr
