Tawau: If you are harassed, threatened or humiliated using artificial intelligence (AI) on social media, the public will be urged to submit it to a police report. The call comes amid growing concern over the misuse of AI-generated images and videos to bully, threaten or slander an individual online. Officials are also concerned that political supporters will be able to resort to AI manipulation on social media as the 17th State Election (PRN) approaches. Tawau District Police Chief ACP Jasmine Fussin said police are aware of these new threats and are closely monitoring the misuse of technologies that could disrupt the public order. “We recognize that irresponsible parties now have a variety of tools, including AI that can be used to humiliate or provoke others. Media users said that, as well as public, Jasmine has already begun early plans, including identifying key needs to ensure maximum security throughout the process, in order to keep up with peace and security.
