Warnings over AI risks to children 

'Generative AI is present in systems such as chatbots, interactive games and is even being offered more worryingly as a friend on social media.'

Children can place “too much trust” in artificial intelligence (AI) which can amplify the harmful content they see online, an Oireachtas committee is to be told.

Set to address the Children’s Committee on Tuesday, the media regulator Coimisiún na Meán will warn that while AI has become an increasing feature of children’s lives, it “was not designed for children nor does it use a safety by design approach”.
