Recommendation 28
28
Draw up legislation to regulate AI and protect children's data from operators
Recommendation
The next Government must draw up legislation in the first year of the new Parliament on regulating AI or risk the technology developing faster than legislation can be drawn up to control it, ultimately causing additional harm to children. AI operators should also be held accountable for their use of children’s data and it is essential that children’s data is protected where they are below the digital age of consent.
