Professor Deirdre Ahern:

In some cases, what happens with AI is that it is a case of "old wine, new bottles". Now, there is easier access and it costs less to do bad things if someone wants to do scams, etc. The law stands up but there is a lot more to be done in the area of cybersecurity. I am certainly heartened to hear that there are plans in the programme for Government to put the National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, on a statutory footing.
