Malaysia and Indonesia have blocked access to Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok due to its misuse in generating explicit images. Authorities in both countries acted over the weekend, citing concerns about non-consensual and sexual deepfakes. Regulators say existing controls cannot prevent fake pornographic content, especially involving women and minors. Both nations have demanded stronger safeguards from Musk's platform, X, to prevent abuse. Grok, launched in 2023, has faced global scrutiny for its image generator feature. Critics say recent restrictions on non-paying users don't fully address the risks.
