Manipulasi AI atas duka Dr M kehilangan Hasmah boleh dikenakan tindakan

Malaysia's Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) has warned against the dissemination, uploading, or spreading of manipulated artificial intelligence (AI) content that could confuse the public or belittle others. Pertaining to the recent viral 27-second black and white video circulating on TikTok, posted by user @vinustudio.my, SKMM has stated that the act could be punishable under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and other relevant laws if found to be in violation.

The video features a former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, wiping away tears while embracing his late wife, Dr Hasmah Ali, with an AI-generated background and emotional music. The SKMM highlighted that action could be taken under the Act if the content in question is found to be in breach of the law. The body has contacted the relevant social media platforms and is currently investigating the material, according to their statement.

The Malaysian government has reminded everyone to refrain from generating, uploading, or sharing manipulated content that could mislead the public or belittle others. While advancements in AI have brought numerous 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 dignity and human values.
