The generation and dissemination of non-consensual sexual deepfakes by such organisations as Chatbox and Grok demonstrate the real-world importance of having a coherent regulatory framework. While the Online Safety Act already regulates many generative AI services, some AI chatbots fall outside the scope due to technicalities in their design, such as drawing responses solely from an underlying model rather than the live internet or lacking user-to-user content-sharing functionality. This uneven coverage risks leaving users exposed to illegal harms and services open to criminal exploitation. I say today from the Dispatch Box that the Government are committed to removing this ambiguity and ensuring that services such as Grok are totally regulated. That is why we brought forward Amendment 429B, to ensure that we have a regulation-making power.
