Malaysia and Indonesia Ban Musk’s Grok Over Explicit Deepfake Images. Malaysia and Indonesia have become the first countries to block access to Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, citing concerns over sexually explicit deepfake images - According to BBC. The tool, available on Musk’s platform X, can generate images and has been used to alter photos of real people, placing them in revealing or sexualized situations without consent. Authorities warn the technology could be abused to create pornographic content involving women and even children. Malaysia’s communications regulator said it repeatedly flagged the misuse of Grok but accused X of failing to address deeper safety risks. Indonesia’s digital minister called the use of AI for sexual exploitation a violation of human rights and online safety. The move has intensified global pressure on Musk, with UK officials also considering restrictions, while Musk has accused governments of trying to silence free speech.
