MCMC blocks Grok AI chatbot over sexually explicit content


PETALING JAYA: The Grok Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot has been temporarily blocked in Malaysia effective Jan 11.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said this was due to repeated misuse of the AI chatbot to generate obscene, sexually explicit, indecent, grossly offensive, and non-consensual manipulated images, including content involving women and minors, despite prior regulatory engagement and formal notices issued to X Corp and xAI LLC.
