Amendment 479 is a probing amendment that seeks to establish beyond doubt that generative AI services, including large language models, are indeed categorised as search services under the Online Safety Act. Subsection (1) would establish that it is an offence for the provider of a generative service to allow content and activity defined as illegal under the OSA or harmful to children if the user is a child. Subsections (2) and (3) define generative AI search service and content, and subsection (4) deals with enforcement, once again leveraging Ofcom’s powers under the OSA.
