Malaysia’s communications regulator plans to take legal action against X, formerly known as Twitter, over concerns that the platform’s AI feature Grok is being used to produce and share harmful content.

Grok, a generative AI chatbot developed by xAI, has faced scrutiny globally after reports that it allows users to create and publish sexualized and manipulated images.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission said it found Grok being misused to generate obscene, sexually explicit, and non-consensual images, including content involving women and minors.

The commission said that such material violates Malaysian laws and undermines stated safety commitments by the companies involved.
