Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

There has always been a need to balance freedom of expression with regulation. It has never been the case that there has been any State regulation of the output of print media. It has always been the case that there has been State regulation of the output of broadcast media. That has really been based on the influence different media have. It is quite clear from the work Mr. O'Leary has done on how people make up their minds in elections and the work we do with the Reuters news reports on people's sources of news that, as the Deputy has said, online sources are more significant sources of news for certain cohorts, particularly the younger cohorts, than traditional media. It is very early days for AI chatbots but we are reviewing our media plurality policy this year and next year and one of the things we are concerned about is looking at the role of chatbots as a source of news and what might be done about that. However, at the moment, there is no law that regulates the output of chatbots.
