Mr. Bernard Joyce:

The Senator will have probably seen in our submission that AI can generate a very biased picture of any particular group. In this case, there are two photographs that show a young Traveller child but it is reinforcing a certain prejudice in terms of poverty, deprivation, type of accommodation and the clothes. That is really dangerous because it has taken all the information and has then created an image, including the background and the child, portraying the child as a Traveller. In this case, it names it as a Traveller but it is on a site. That itself is perpetrating a type of prejudice and reinforcing it. When we talk about social exclusion, it shows this in some form but it does not show the positive, the contributing factor, the culture, the identity and all the other areas. It is certainly dangerous and we really need to address that type of imagery.
