Written question asked by Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) on Tuesday, 2 June 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 4 June 2026. It was answered by Ian Murray (Labour) on Wednesday, 10 June 2026 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Gambling: Artificial Intelligence
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the role of generative AI chatbots in facilitating access to unlicensed gambling operators.
- Answer
-
AI chatbots covered by the Online Safety Act must protect all users from illegal content. We work with a wide range of stakeholders including technology companies to ensure these rules keep pace with technology and will not hesitate to go further if there is evidence to do so.
More broadly, the Government is committed to tackling illegal gambling through the Illegal Gambling Taskforce. We will therefore consider examples of chatbots promoting illegal sites to children, in conjunction with other issues, when deciding on the best next steps to increase protections against illegal gambling.
