This week’s podcast guest is Almudena Lara, policy director for child safety at Ofcom, who discusses how social media firms are gearing up for the incoming enforcement of strict rules designed to keep children safe in digital spaces.
Ofcom is the UK’s media and communications regulatory body. The watchdog was recently granted new powers in regulating content on the internet via the Online Safety Act.
Lara explains why there has been an extended gap between the act passing and the rules being enforced and how AI could become both an incredible tool for content moderation and a dangerous weapon in harmful content creation.
