Ms Niamh Hodnett:
It has not yet met, and we are just in the process of writing out to the different organisations that represent the youth. It has not yet been established. Diversity of the youth advisory committee and listening to a range of voices will be important to us.
On the subject of AI, I quote Mr. Godfrey's comment that good content moderation work is done by way of AI. It removes the need for individuals where people have to review quite upsetting content. There are good AI tasks that can be carried out in the online safety space, such as in content moderation. There may a role for AI in age estimation. We were talking earlier on with Senator Carrigy about how to deal with age assurance or age verification requirements. Amplification of harmful content online has already been discussed and that is also an AI issue. The question of whether we will be using AI I will hand to Mr. Godfrey or Dr. Evans. Not at the moment is my answer.
