Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have criticised Elon Musk's xAI over its legal challenge to a Minnesota law targeting AI-generated non-consensual explicit images, arguing that technology companies should prioritise the safety of women and children over commercial interests.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the comments in a public statement released in August 2026, describing Minnesota's new legislation as an important step towards addressing the growing misuse of artificial intelligence. Their intervention comes as xAI seeks to block enforcement of the law, arguing that parts of the legislation raise constitutional free speech concerns.
