Elon Musk’s xAI sues Colorado over new rules for artificial intelligence

Company claims law regulating AI systems, set to go into effect in June, infringes on its first amendment rights

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Colorado over a new AI law set to take effect in June.

The suit seeks to block the state from enforcing the law, which would impose new requirements on AI systems to protect state residents from “algorithmic discrimination” in sectors such as education, employment, healthcare, housing and financial services.
