#39614 — Ofcom's strategic approach to AI

Things might start to accelerate now. It is only a matter of time I
think before AI is used to hack into the lovely new VOIP network. But
perhaps the whole internet will be wobbling by then.

"Mitigating risks

While both industry and consumers benefit from AI deployment, the risks
created or exacerbated by AI primarily flow to the consumer. [Of course,
same with the costs]

At Ofcom, we’re proactively monitoring and evaluating emerging
harms. Where intervention is required, we’re taking swift and decisive
action.

We coordinated with AISI and the National Cyber Security Centre
(NCSC) to update stakeholders on frontier AI’s cybersecurity
implications after Anthropic’s preview of Claude Mythos caused
widespread concern, and launched a formal investigation into X’s Grok
chatbot.

We are also working closely with the Government to prepare for increased
regulatory responsibilities relevant to AI, including any introduced by
both new legislation and changes to existing legislation. "
