Gambling: Artificial Intelligence

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with technology companies on tackling AI-generated guidance on circumventing gambling regulation.

Answered by Ian Murray

AI chatbots covered by the Online Safety Act must protect all users from illegal content. We work with a wide range of stakeholders including technology companies to ensure these rules keep pace with technology and will not hesitate to go further if there is evidence to do so.

More broadly, the Government is committed to tackling illegal gambling through the Illegal Gambling Taskforce. We will therefore consider examples of chatbots promoting illegal sites to children, in conjunction with other issues, when deciding on the best next steps to increase protections against illegal gambling.
