After Indonesia, Musk’s Grok AI blocked in Malaysia over obscene images

Indonesia and Malaysia restricted access to Elon Musk’s Grok AI over the weekend, becoming the first countries to ban the artificial intelligence system over its generation of obscene content.

Indonesia’s Communications and Digital Affairs Ministry is imposing a temporary ban on Grok “to protect women, children, and the entire community from the risk of fake pornographic content generated using artificial intelligence technology,” according to a statement issued on Saturday. The ministry has asked platform X to immediately provide clarification regarding the matter, it said.
