AI chatbot firms face stricter regulation in online safety laws protecting children in the UK

Summary

The UK government is closing a loophole in the Online Safety Act so that AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot must comply with its illegal content duties or face fines or being blocked. The move follows criticism of X over sexually explicit content generated by its Grok chatbot. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also announced further measures, including limits on children's use of AI chatbots and access to VPNs.
