Committee on European Union Affairs

Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán

2:00 am

Dr. John Evans:

I will ask Mr. Moroney to talk a little bit about the robots. On misinformation and disinformation around health, the Deputy may remember the systemic risk I mentioned when explaining Articles 34 and 35. Electoral integrity is a big one that is on our minds all the time but the Digital Services Act was actually conceived during the time of Covid when this misinformation and disinformation around health issues became really quite prominent. That is why health is called out as a specific area of high risk on platforms. The kind of issue the Deputy was talking about can get caught by the DSA. Would Mr. Moroney like to talk about robots?
