“At Ofcom, our role is to help create an online environment where innovation can thrive, but where safety, transparency and accountability come first. Where companies fall short of their duties to protect children under the Online Safety Act, we’ve shown we won’t hesitate to act.

As AI increasingly becomes part of our online lives, especially for children and young people, we need to make sure they understand how these tools work and what risks they carry. That’s why we’re proud to support Safer Internet Day and help empower schools, families and children with the critical digital skills they need to keep pace with new technologies.”
