Malaysia Lifts Grok Ban After Musk Firm Adds AI Image Safety Measures

  • Malaysia has lifted its temporary ban on Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot.
  • The ban was removed after Grok's developer implemented safety measures to prevent the generation of sexualized images.
  • The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) confirmed the measures after a meeting with Musk's tech company.
  • Grok was initially blocked earlier this month due to misuse, including generating 'obscene, sexually explicit' images involving women and minors.
  • MCMC emphasizes user safety and warns of strict action for any non-compliance with Malaysian laws.
