Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence, Truth and Democracy: Discussion
2:00 am
Darren O'Rourke (Meath East, Sinn Fein)
On a related point, which I have highlighted here, there have been lots of discussion about recommender systems. There is legislation on the books here and there has been a lot of criticism concerning the weakness of the primary legislation or its application in Ireland. Is there a need or an opportunity to ensure that those recommender systems are switched off? Mr. Godfrey made a point about rage baiting and driving people down a rabbit hole, or whatever way one wants to put it. Recommender systems are a particular feature and AI has a particular role in them.
