DICT moves to block Grok AI over explicit deepfakes

The government announced that it is taking steps to block the artificial intelligence chatbot Grok in the Philippines. DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda made the announcement at a Palace briefing. He said the AI tool, developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, has been misused to alter photos of real people, depicting them in revealing clothing. Grok is a feature on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that allows users to create images. Aguda stated that the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) is now working with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) to implement the block.

The secretary detailed the process, explaining that the government...
