Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence, Truth and Democracy: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:
There were a lot of questions about the interaction between what can be done under the online safety code, which is there to implement the audiovisual media services directive, and under the DSA, which is a maximum harmonisation measure. The conclusion, as I say, was that in order to get the code in place through the TRIS process and avoid the prospect of having things struck down because they were inconsistent with the DSA, it was better to use the DSA as the mechanism for addressing recommender system issues.
