Malaysia's MCMC ordered a temporary ban on access to Grok from January 11, citing repeated use of the tool to generate sexually explicit, non-consensual manipulated images, including content involving women and children. The commission said responses from X Corp. on January 7 and 9 focused on user reporting and failed to address risks inherent in the AI tool's design.
After the Indian government told X on January 2 to remove obscene content made with Grok or face legal action, X admitted content-moderation mistakes, pledged to stop obscene image generation and said it had blocked more than 3,500 pieces of content and deleted over 600 accounts. MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said X had merely limited Grok's sexual image generation to paid users.

More than 500 higher-education students were found to have used AI without authorisation in graded coursework in 2024-2025, according to responses to RTÉ's This Week, including 224 cases at the University of Galway. Many large universities, including UCD, UCC, Maynooth and UL, do not separate AI misuse from other plagiarism, so the real figure is likely higher.
