Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner

Mr. Tiernan Kenny:

I will come in on the media literacy point. We are talking about the platform side, but we also have a role in making sure users can critically engage with and understand the media they encounter, including recognising when something might be false or misleading. Some of the platforms are also making efforts to label AI-generated content so if it turns out to be a deepfake video, it can be clear to users that it has been artificially created. However, that only works with good faith actors.
