Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion
2:00 am
Malcolm Byrne (Wicklow-Wexford, Fianna Fail)
We are still engaging on the issue of children and young people and artificial intelligence. We had a good first session.
We now have a number of other organisations that are working with children and young people. I will introduce all the witnesses first and then invite them to make opening statements of three minutes. They are: Dr. Emily Bourke, policy and participation co-ordinator of BelonG To; Ms Alex Cooney, co-founder and CEO of CyberSafeKids; Mr. Bernard Joyce, director of the Irish Traveller Movement; Mr. John Church, CEO of the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, ISPCC; Ms Sinéad Keane, CEO of Spunout; and Ms Jane McGarrigle, national co-ordinator of Webwise.
It is a similar format to before. I ask that everyone be as succinct as possible, keeping their contributions to three minutes. I invite Dr. Bourke to make her opening statement.
