Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Clare Daly:

As I said, there are other jurisdictions that are banning these deepfakes outright. Technically, deepfake capabilities for general purpose is a widely available tool. There is a legitimate synthetic use for these tools but the harmfulness use piece is where the issue really lies.

We were able to legislate against intimate image abuse. Similarly intimate image abuse where we have deepfakes, or even image abuse, should be considered along the same lines.
