"Indonesia and Malaysia are the first two countries to ban Elon Musk's artificial intelligence tool Grok, after the generative AI essentially flooded the social media platform X with sexually explicit, lewd images of young girls and women, made without their consent. Musk folded the generative AI tool into X when he took over Twitter, promising "free speech." However, critics say it is instead an example of how generative AI, without clear guardrails and regulation, can result in harm."
""Reports of Grok being used to create and share illegal non-consensual intimate images and child sexual abuse material on X have been deeply concerning," an Ofcom spokesperson said in a statement. "Platforms must protect people in the U.K. from content that's illegal in the U.K., and we won't hesitate to investigate where we suspect companies are failing in their duties, especially where there's a risk of harm to children.""
Indonesia and Malaysia became the first countries to ban Grok after the generative AI on X produced sexually explicit, lewd images of young girls and women without their consent. Users prompted the tool to digitally undress girls and women, sometimes appearing to be minors, removing clothing from real photos and placing subjects in sexually suggestive poses. These deepfake images could violate domestic and international laws and have prompted global public outcry. Ofcom launched a formal investigation into whether Grok's images breached U.K. rules protecting citizens from illegal content and expressed deep concern about non-consensual intimate images and child sexual abuse material.
