Amendment 433 would make it an offence to supply a chatbot that produces illegal content or content that is harmful to children as defined in the Online Safety Act. Proposed subsections (2), (5), (6) and (7) would require risk assessments to be conducted, including assessing for the specific risks mentioned and red-teaming, and kept up to date. They include added requirements to assess the risk of companion chatbots coercing or deliberately creating dependence through addictive design, manipulation, sycophancy or harmful features. They clarify what a sufficient risk assessment looks like.
