Now, as the EU's AI Act rumbles through its process here in Ireland and in Europe, one of the issues, one of the many issues that it's trying to tackle is deepfake pornography.

And we're going to talk a little bit about this and then the wider impact of the AI Act.

I'm joined by Aoife White, who writes for the European Correspondent and who specializes in EU affairs.

Aoife, let's start with the deepfake porn issue.
