Mr. Seán O'Sullivan:

Returning to the question about how generative AI use might damage the mental health of young people, OpenAI revealed that in 2023 it had a model called voice engine. Given 15 seconds of any person's voice, it could fine tune the model to mimic their voice perfectly on any given text that was presented to it. I do not think it is planning on releasing it publicly, but from a policymaking standpoint you would almost want to be in direct communication with these companies to understand the exact technology they are developing right now so that you can start forecasting the policies that need to be created to prevent the potential negative effects it could have on the mental health of Irish young people. We must be careful not to leave that decision to these companies. There could be an opportunity to collaborate with these companies to ensure AI, as it continues developing as quickly as it is, will ultimately be for the benefit of humanity.
