Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Claire Dil?:

The Senator's question is a very good one. Child sexual exploitation is the most serious violation of all but it is also a criminal offence, so obviously we work with NCMEC because we send it information so that it can prosecute criminals and constitute a bank of images of child sexual exploitation on social media that will help us be more effective at fighting the phenomenon. We co-operate with law enforcement because, as I was saying, it is a criminal offence so it is very important for us to be able to work together with law enforcement agencies so that they can identify the people who post this kind of material on X and then prosecute them, so that is very important point.
