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

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

Ms Susan Moss:

I might hand over to Ms Setter in a moment but will address some of the Deputy's initial points. I agree schools are a place for education, not for smartphones and the Internet. On reporting timelines, when an item of content on TikTok is reported, the average time it takes to action that report is two hours. That gives an idea of how quickly we are working in this space. Ms Setter might speak to age verification and the Deputy's concerns in that regard.
