PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) views with serious concerns the dissemination of social media content that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate footage of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as he mourned the passing of his wife, the late Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali.

"The use of technology to manipulate genuine footage in a way that could mislead the public, distort the context of an event, or undermine the dignity of individuals and their families should not be taken lightly, especially when it involves moments of loss and grief," MCMC said in a statement today (Oct 2).
