Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Children and Young People: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Grace French:

It is necessary that we bring education on AI into the curriculum because there are lots of young people who do not know exactly what they are doing with AI and they need to be taught about how their information is being used. Tech companies need to have clear warnings on content but they cannot just take our information and use it without our permission. We should have the option to opt out of data harvesting.
