Game of Thrones and Euphoria given age ratings as BBFC deploys new AI tool

Regulator says tool, which creates reports for humans to review, has helped classify entire UK catalogue of HBO Max

TV shows including Game of Thrones and Euphoria have received age ratings for the first time in the UK, after the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) deployed an AI tool to help assess content.

The BBFC has developed a tool to identify content that triggers compliance issues, such as violence, nudity and bad language. The flagged scenes are then passed over to BBFC staff for human review.
