Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Sinéad Keane:

Regarding romantic relationships, there certainly are extreme dangers for under 18s who have the potential to develop sexually explicit relationships. We have taken a long time in this country to come to a place where through the education system we can teach people about consent and healthy relationships so there is a lot of potential harm that can be done. This goes back to the piece around social isolation and loneliness. We are currently conducting research into that that we can share with the committee in the coming months when it is prepared.
