Ireland 'not doing enough' to protect children from AI dangers 

Dáil committee hears children an 'afterthought' when it comes to developing policies around AI internationally.

Ireland is “not doing enough” to protect children from the dangers of artificial intelligence, despite having the “potential and the obligation to be world-leading in this space”, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

Caoilfhionn Gallagher KC, Ireland’s special rapporteur on child protection, said children had often been an “afterthought” when it comes to developing policies around AI internationally.
