'It is truly harmful': Children's advocates 'gravely concerned' over lack of regulation of AI

Noeline Blackwell will tell Dáil committee the sharing of such nonconsensual deepfakes 'is not just illegal, it is truly harmful'.

The Children's Rights Alliance has said it is “gravely concerned” at the lack of regulation or safeguards for young people amid the onset of generative AI, especially as new protections have been delayed.

The alliance is to tell an Oireachtas committee it is its understanding the EU-level regulation of high-risk AI applications will now not commence before the end of 2027 — a year later than expected.
