  "account": "PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been notified of a complaint concerning the inappropriate use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate and spread sexual images and videos featuring students and teachers at a school in Kedah. In a statement, MCMC explained that the exploitation of AI to produce or disseminate sexually explicit content that could potentially endanger the safety, dignity, and well-being of victims, especially minors, is addressed under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. It also highlighted that licensed service providers share child protection responsibilities under Section 18 of the Online Safety Act 2025 (Onsa).\n\nThose found guilty may face penalties, including fines of up to RM500,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both. In cases involving minors, the punishment may include imprisonment for up to five years, depending on the specific provisions of the law. MCMC pledged to collaborate with pertinent agencies during the investigation. The commission also cautioned the public against creating, uploading, or sharing sexual content involving or suspected to involve children, as these actions could not only harm the victims but also hinder the investigative process. MCMC encouraged any individuals possessing relevant information to promptly report it to the authorities through the appropriate channels.",
