Ofcomは、英国の通信網における人工知能の利用が壊滅的な障害を引き起こす恐れがあると警告し、BT、Vodafone、Virgin Media O2などの事業者に慎重な対応を求めた。規制当局は、AIが問題の検知と修復を迅速化できる一方で、ネットワークの自動化が失敗すれば深刻な停止につながるリスクがあると指摘した。この警告は、ハッカーが脆弱性を悪用することを可能にする最先端AIモデルへの広範な懸念の中で発せられたもので、Ofcomのインフラ責任者ナタリー・ブラック氏は4月に各社に書簡を送り、セキュリティリスクの評価を求めた。通信安全保障法に基づき、事業者はAI関連リスクの管理を怠った場合、罰金を科される可能性がある。これは、2023年に発生した10時間半に及ぶ999緊急通報網の停止で約1万4000件の通話に影響が出た件で、BTに1750万ポンドの罰金が科されたことを受けたものだ。
