Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Alex Cooney:
There is this idea that we need to build child protection and child rights even into the design of our regulation. The AI Act is a good example of where child protection was not a central consideration and as a consequence, it is lacking in that area. We need child rights by design, including the consultation with children, privacy by design and safety by design. There are clear standards that have been recommended and we need to use that as the best practice.
