News & Reviews:   AI tools

Today, WhatsApp has announced a new wave of features aimed at making chats easier to manage, more flexible across devices, and smarter with AI integration. The update focuses on solving everyday pain points such as storage limitations, switching phones, and juggling multiple accounts, while also introducing new AI-powered tools for messaging and media.

At the start of the new year, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) issued a strong warning against the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to generate harmful content online. The regulator says it has received numerous public complaints involving AI-powered image manipulation, particularly cases targeting women and minors.

According to MCMC, these incidents involve digitally altered images that result in indecent, grossly offensive, or otherwise harmful material being circulated on social platforms, including X.
