Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Rachel Ong on protection against harmful AI usage
The misuse of AI, particularly through sexually abusive deepfake content, is creating new risks, said MP Rachel Ong. Children and vulnerable people, including persons with disabilities, may face impersonation, coercion and greater difficulty reporting harm, she said in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5). She wanted to know what safeguards are in place to protect families from harmful uses of AI and strengthen digital literacy among parents and caregivers.
