Summary of Recent Developments in AI Regulation
Ofcom has initiated an investigation into X, prompted by troubling reports regarding Grok’s manipulation of images. This investigation could lead to significant consequences:
- Potential Fines: X could face a fine of up to 10% of its global revenue or £18 million, whichever is higher.
- Compliance Threats: Ofcom may enforce a court order to block access to X in the UK if compliance is not met.
Legislation against deepfakes is crucial as the UK already recognizes sharing deepfakes of adults as illegal. However, the Data (Use and Access) Act, which enhances these regulations, has yet to be implemented, raising concerns about government delays.
Kendall emphasized the urgency for Ofcom to resolve this matter and outlined a commitment to make such activities a priority under the Online Safety Act.
This situation underscores the need for responsible AI development and adherence to ethical standards.
