Ms Caoilfhionn Gallagher: I thank the committee for extending the invitation to appear before it today in my capacity as special rapporteur on child protection. I thank them, first and foremost, for considering this important topic. To follow Professor O'Sullivan, I will quote from the UNICEF document he referred to, which states: Today’s children are the first generation that...

...code for video platforms, is anticipated, although we will have to see whether it does it, to introduce an important new rule whereby these AI recommender systems that are based on a profile of you, a child or so-called special category data about you being a child will be turned off by default. If you want to switch it on, maybe you can do so but it will be off by default, not longer on...

John Brady: ...sexual predators and all of that. There are benefits but there are real concerns there. I wrote down four or five areas that these could be condensed into. Privacy is a huge one. Children’s data privacy can be compromised. That leads to my first question on GDPR legislation. Is it strong enough to protect from those threats around AI? I will go through the questions and ask...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

...Our view is that it is very much strong enough. It has some useful tools, even before the AI Act, which we could use right away. For example, Article 9 of the GDPR lets us decide what specially protected personal data is. Anything that could reveal, for example, people's sexual life, ethnicity, political views or outlook, or any interesting data about them that lets us know what makes...

Patrick Costello: ...to the special rapporteur for children's rights regarding legislative reform in this regard. Regulation needs enforcement at the same time. We have seen underregulation and underenforcement of data protection measures. The justice committee has spent a lot of time speaking about the challenges in this regard. The committee should look at this and make recommendations not only on...

...the tech firms cannot wiggle out of that measure. That measure is specific to recommender systems. The other action, which ICCL has been asking for for quite some time, is that we see pressure on the Data Protection Commission to prove me right when I told my colleagues in industry that Europe was serious. We have the leading role to play in Europe on many of these issues and we do...

...and certainly Coimisiún na Meán is also looking at this but we should demand more of the companies. They essentially know the ages of their users so they should use that knowledge to better protect younger users. Another consideration, picking up on Professor O'Sullivan's point which has been raised before, is the idea that we can use these services for free. It is not...

Dr. Johnny Ryan: I will give a very brief response to the Senator. It is that, as she knows, data protection law is kryptonite to that business model. It is all illegal.

Dr. Johnny Ryan: We have not even grasped the lowest-hanging fruit in data protection enforcement. One thing this committee can do right away is to write a letter to the incoming commissioners of the DPC when they are announced-----

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (13 Feb 2024)

Ms Clare Daly: In respect of the availability of data protection enforcement in the context of regulation here, the UK has a designated children's code and in Ireland we had a fundamental code for the processing of children's data, but we could look at that going further in Ireland. In the US, for example, the Federal Trade Commission issued an algorithmic deletion demand in 2022 concerning...
