The Government should consider banning AI “nudification” systems that can generate sexualised images of real people without their consent or create child sex abuse material, the Irish media regulator will say on Tuesday.

Addressing the Oireachtas Artificial Intelligence Committee, Coimisiún na Meán executive chair Jeremy Godfrey will say that changes to how tech firms operate as a result of regulation “have not yet been sufficient” while new types of online harm have emerged.
