Malaysia Lifts Ban on Musk’s Grok After Safety Measures Added

Malaysia lifted its temporary ban on Elon Musk’s Grok artificial intelligence chatbot after the company behind it added safety measures to help prevent the generation of sexualized images of people.

The decision follows a meeting between regulators and Musk’s tech company, which confirmed that necessary measures had been implemented in Grok, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission said Friday. Grok remains subject to continuous monitoring by authorities, it said.
