"The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said it had temporarily banned Grok after ordering the chatbot's developer xAI and the social media platform X to introduce safeguards."
"Grok has been mired in controversy in recent days over the use of its image-generation tool to depict real people in minimal clothing and sexualised poses without their consent. The spread of the sexualised deepfakes, some of them including minors, has prompted condemnation and calls to action from officials in numerous countries, including the US, UK, Germany, France, and Australia."
Malaysia has blocked access to Elon Musk's AI model Grok following failures to comply with formal regulatory notices. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission temporarily banned Grok and ordered xAI and X to introduce safeguards to ensure compliance with the law. Regulators judged X's response, which focused primarily on user-initiated reporting mechanisms, as inadequate to address inherent risks from the AI tool's design and operation and insufficient to prevent harm or ensure legal compliance. Indonesia had already formally banned Grok. The image-generation tool produced sexualised deepfakes of real people, including minors, prompting international condemnation and calls for action.
