Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Session 4: International Collaboration
Professor Lorna Woods:
I would like to clarify what I said. The model that I said might provide a common ground is based on process. It is not based on specific items of content. In a way, it is a two-step process. There is common ground about standards for recommender algorithms or whether metrics such as "likes" and those sort of devices have unforeseen consequences. I think agreement can be reached there. It is when one goes into the question of whether a particular item of content is problematic that one finds a lot of difference. We must accept that there is a limit to how far we can go with that.
