Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion

I cannot; I have to be fair to everyone. We are moving towards wrapping up.
I want to ask very specifically the responsibilities we have between the regulatory responsibilities. Obviously, we have the Data Protection Commission, which has specific responsibilities and Coimisiún na Meán has responsibilities under the Digital Services Act and under the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act. We will establish the AI office and part of what we are looking at here in this age of AI is how we ensure the safety of children and young people to be able to avail of all the positives. What message would any of the witnesses like to send to the regulators in terms of what they are doing?
I am conscious Ms McGarrigle has not said anything in terms of the question. We will have her first and then any others may want to come in.
