Manipulasi AI atas duka Dr M kehilangan Hasmah boleh dikenakan tindakan

The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) has warned against the dissemination, uploading, or sharing of manipulated artificial intelligence (AI) content that could confuse the public or belittle others. Petaling Jaya: An individual who shared AI-manipulated footage of former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad crying over the loss of his wife, Dr. Hasmah Ali, may face legal action according to SKMM.

This followed the upload of a 27-second black and white video on TikTok by user @vinustudio.my, which garnered over 745,000 views, 30,200 likes, and numerous shares. The video showed the former Prime Minister wiping his tears, alongside AI-generated scenes of him comforting Hasmah, set to an emotional soundtrack. The SKMM stated that legal action could be taken under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and other relevant legislation if the content is found to violate any laws.

The commission has contacted the relevant social media platforms and is investigating the material, according to a statement. The authorities remind all parties not to create, upload, or spread manipulated content that could mislead the public or belittle others. While AI offers many benefits to society, its use must be accompanied by responsibility.

The technology should not be used to distort the truth or exploit someone's grief, compromising their dignity and human values.
