Navigating new age verification laws for game developers

Governments in the UK, European Union, the United States of America and elsewhere are imposing stricter age verification rules that affect game content, social features and personalization systems. Developers must adopt proportionate age-assurance measures such as ID checks, credit card verification or Artificial Intelligence age estimation to avoid fines, bans and reputational harm.

Large language models require a new form of oversight: capability-based monitoring

The paper proposes capability-based monitoring for large language models in healthcare, organizing oversight around shared capabilities such as summarization, reasoning, translation, and safety guardrails. The authors argue this approach is more scalable than task-based monitoring inherited from traditional machine learning and can reveal systemic weaknesses and emergent behaviors across tasks.
