Children are being “bombarded” online by so-called AI girlfriend porn apps, which are gamifying sexual violence and rape and encouraging them to recruit their friends.

Irish charities are calling for the Government to act here as the British government announced it was banning AI girlfriend and ‘nudification’ apps and websites.

Educator and researcher with SERP Eoghan Cleary is the guest on today’s episode of the Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast and explains how exactly children are being targeted with this tech.
