Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

With regard to the importance of fines, that money should be directly sent back into our child protection system. I made this recommendation with regard to the Data Protection Commission when it fined tech companies huge amounts. The money should be used directly as a ring-fenced amount of money. We could equalise our education system by providing tech for disadvantaged children, including Traveller children and children in poverty. We could start to rebuild using those fines so that there would be real benefit from that.
