Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Niamh Hodnett:

Where our work touches on that is that under the Digital Services Act, the platforms have to do a risk assessment of the risks with regard to their platforms and they have to take mitigation steps to address those harms. Therefore, it may arise in that instance. Otherwise then with regard to verification, we do propose age verification for minors accessing age inappropriate content such as pornography or extreme or gratuitous violence.
