<p>The Online Safety Bill has now finished its parliamentary passage and will receive
Royal Assent in the coming weeks.</p><p> </p><p>The Bill will ensure that technology
companies take more responsibility for the safety of their users, particularly children.
It has been designed to be tech-neutral to keep pace with emerging technology. The
Bill will tackle harmful AI generated content on user-to-user services when that content
is placed on the service by a user, or if an AI bot is itself placed on a service
by a user and interacts with other users.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the forthcoming
AI Safety Summit and the work of the Foundation Model Taskforce will focus on risks
created or significantly exacerbated by the most powerful AI systems, especially where
they pose a threat to the most vulnerable in our society, such as children. It will
draw on a range of perspectives both prior to and at the event itself to inform these
discussions.</p>
