Malaysia and Indonesia have blocked access to Elon Musk's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok over its ability to produce sexually explicit deepfakes.
Grok, a tool on Musk's X platform, allows users to generate images but has recently been used to edit images of real people to show them in revealing outfits.
The South East Asian countries said Grok could be used to produce pornographic and non-consensual images involving women and children.
The ministry has also asked Musk's X to provide a clarification on the use of Grok. »
