Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, has released the 2024 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Outlook report, covering global trends in AI regulation and adoption in the payments and gambling industries.
AI regulatory developments have popped up across the globe in the last year, with Western Europe leading the way with the most updates. According to the Vixio AI Outlook report, the UK and EU have released over 40 updates in AI regulation since 2023.
Specific jurisdictions that have taken notable steps to regulate the use of AI include Canada, the EU, Hong Kong, Spain, and the UK. Several jurisdictions have regulatory developments in progress, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Luxembourg, Malta, South Africa and Uruguay. In contrast, other jurisdictions, such as the US, have released guidance and best practices.
“Right now, regulators are in a nascent stage surrounding AI regulation. However, as businesses increasingly explore the adoption of AI, regulators will follow suit,” explains John Gidla, Head of PaymentsCompliance at Vixio. “But, at this stage, governments and regulators are watching the development of AI and looking to better understand potential opportunities and threats, and trying to balance the fine line between consumer protection and innovation.”
In the payments industry, regulators are observing how AI is being used by payments and banking institutions. The full report includes case studies of AI implementation in FinTechs like Revolut, Mastercard, Visa and more. Some of the opportunities surrounding AI in the payments industry include:

On 17 April 2026, the UK High Court rejected in full the claims brought by The New Lottery Company Limited (TNLC) and Northern & Shell PLC (N&S) against the Gambling Commission in relation to the award of the Fourth National Lottery Licence.
In summary, the claims alleged that the Gambling Commission had wrongly awarded the Fourth National Lottery Licence to Allwyn, and that instead, TNLC should have won the competition. The claims also alleged that the Gambling Commission and Allwyn had entered into impermissible modifications to the Licence arrangements following the competition.
The lengthy trial of the claims took place in the High Court before Mrs Justice Joanna Smith between 9 October and 2 December 2025, with an additional day on 13 January 2026.
The High Court has now ruled in favour of the Gambling Commission on all of the claims, rejecting the allegations which had been made.
This is an important judgment for the future of The National Lottery. This judgment makes clear that the Gambling Commission ran a fair and robust competition to award the Fourth National Lottery Licence, and that none of the contested changes to the Licence, in the course of its implementation, were substantial or contrary to the relevant procurement regulations.
The judgment gives resounding support to Good Causes by enabling Allwyn, with oversight from the Commission, to continue with their plans of investment in The National Lottery without further distraction.
The National Lottery is one of the world’s largest lotteries and since launching in 1994, National Lottery players have collectively raised more than £52 billion for more than 670,000 Good Causes across the UK, transforming lives and contributing to the arts, sport, heritage and communities.
