Ms Frances Haugen:

Unquestionably. I want to give people a little bit of context on how difficult it is to hire people who have deep algorithmic expertise and understand not just machine learning, but what those consequences are on the effects of, specifically, socially media platforms. I would guess there is of the order of, perhaps, 200 or 300 people in the world who have the level of depth of expertise in how these systems holistically work that could even be hired. The idea that Ireland will be able to go out on the world stage and pay market-competitive salaries to specialists such as this is an undue burden on the Irish people. I do not think it is responsible to force all of the cost for an effective regulator only on the Irish taxpayer.
