This week, a viral story claimed Elon Musk's xAI is suing Minnesota so that he can create AI-generated CS*M. That false claim exploded across social media, but it leaves out the most important part.

In this episode of Free Speech Friday, I sit down with First Amendment scholar Jeff Kosseff to break down Minnesota's new AI law, why xAI is challenging it, why major civil liberties orgs like the ACLU are also against the law, and why free speech advocates across the country say the law raises serious concerns.

This convo is NOT defending Elon Musk. It is about understanding how AI regulation can produce unintended consequences and why even laws that claim to do good can do immense harm to us all.

We discuss:

The $500,000-per-image penalties facing AI companies
How the law could affect image generators, creative software, and indie developers
Why First Amendment scholars are sounding the alarm
The risks of strict liability for AI platforms
The chilling effect on online speech and creative expression
Whether AI-generated content deserves First Amendment protection
How this compares to Section 230, FOSTA-SESTA, and the Take It Down Act
Why regulating platforms instead of bad actors may have unintended consequences
