At the end of last month, the EU announced an investigation into Grok and X over whether it made citizens 'collateral damage' for its services. Now, weeks later, the UK government has announced a crackdown on AI chatbots, age restrictions, and infinite scroll content, which "will close loopholes that put children at risk, and lays the groundwork for further, faster action."

This new set of actions is split up into a few major sections. The first is regarding AI deepfakes. The latest press release says, "The new measures announced today include [a] crackdown on vile illegal content created by AI. The government will move fast to shut a legal loophole and force all AI chatbot providers to abide by illegal content duties in the Online Safety Act or face the consequences of breaking the law. This will ensure the Act keeps up with rapidly evolving harms."
