Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dualta ? Broin:
On the recommender system, Mr. Miles and I have spoken previously about the way in which they are used to make the experience safer, especially in the context of the non-violating content in the SSI space, which is now not going to be seen by teen users. I also draw attention to the system cards we published last year that break down exactly how these systems work and how AI powers them. There is a great deal in that transparency centre around the system cards and how they work. It is not just one system working in isolation but several systems working together, sometimes at different times. I come back to the point around what is in the Digital Services Act. We are required to assess the risks across a number of headings that our technology may pose and put steps in place to mitigate those. That is part of the conversations we are having with the regulators at the moment.
