Removing deepfakes 'not a sufficient remedy' for eroded trust in older people, says advocacy group

In terms of AI being used as a tool for social interaction for older generations, Ms Casey is expected to say that much of her membership considers such an idea 'abhorrent'.

A leading advocacy group for older people says that the removal of AI deepfakes from the internet is “not a sufficient remedy” for senior citizens who have been duped.

The Irish Senior Citizens’ Parliament (ISCP) is also set to tell an Oireachtas committee that older Irish people have concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) will be put forward as “a solution to loneliness”, with the expectation that they could interact with an AI “to have someone to chat to".
