That is very reassuring. I speak both as a typical TD representing my constituents and as a parent. There is an onus on parents to step up to the mark here and to police but it is important to have the weight of law behind you as a parent or as any adult who is supervising children. My last question within the time allowed to me is in relation to AI recommender systems. In her opening statement, Ms Hodnett stated "One of the supplementary measures we have proposed ... is for platforms to take safety measures to reduce harm caused and to conduct a safety impact assessment." Can she deconstruct or unpack that for me? Does that give me hope that the coimisiún has a serious and robust role to play in respect of insuring that AI-driven recommender systems can be policed?
