Ireland’s AI Advisory Board recommends that governments consider introducing certain laws that prohibit the creation of digital “deepfakes” for individuals without their consent.
DeepFakes is a manipulated video that creates fake “faces” built with artificial intelligence (AI) integrated with real videos to create footage of events that were not usually actually taken place. Included.
Deepfake advice is included in the latest report from the AI Advisory Committee, an independent body established to provide expert advice to the government on all aspects of AI.
The Council is made up of leading experts in academia, industry and civil society.
Its latest report states that the use of biometric and facial recognition technology poses both opportunities and challenges, and that its use in law enforcement is high risk given its impact on fundamental rights. .
The Council recommends that responsible implementation of this technology must involve addressing the complex web of interconnected issues relating to accuracy, discriminatory effects, data privacy, data security, and fundamental rights. I’m doing it.
“This requires implementing a very robust legal, procurement, operational and accountability framework,” the council said.
The report also provides advice on copyright protection in the creative sector from AI disruption and recommendations for the creation of an Irish AI office to ensure a central point of government-wide authority regarding AI. Included.
In relation to AI skills and job implications, the council asks governments to invest directly in the development of a real-time, public “AI Observatory” that provides data and insights on a wide range of AI metrics, such as labor. It’s there. Market dynamics, capital flows, skill development, improved quality of life, complementary innovation, public attitudes, and more.
Regarding education, governments are being encouraged to create and publish coordinated, consistent guidelines for the use of generated AI, which are intended to be updated rapidly as AI technology advances. I’ve confirmed that it remains.
“This report sets out practical recommendations to ensure that Ireland is competitive in its global AI arena while promoting a comprehensive, ethical and sustainable future,” he said. said Dr. Patricia Scanlon, chairman of the AI Advisory Committee.
“We will further explore these opportunities and stimulate the government to stimulate advancing dialogue that will align Ireland’s AI development to best practices and ethical standards, ultimately ensuring long-term economic and social benefits. I look forward to working with you,” Dr. Scanlon said.
The Council has submitted an advice paper to the Minister of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke and the new Minister of AI and Digital Transformation for Niamh Smyth.
The advice was also sent to Taoiseach.
“The Council emphasized that the government must take crucial and informed action to provide a vision for Ireland’s AI,” Burke said.
“These are all important issues raised by the Council and I guarantee that their opinions and expert advice will be considered by the government,” he added.
