I am requesting access to up to three documents held by the Department of Health (Mental Health Division), in the last year, that relate to the potential mental health impact of AI chatbots, conversational AI, or digital companion apps on young people in Ireland. Specifically, I wish for: 1. The latest briefing paper, memo, or internal report discussing how digital or AI chat tools affect youth mental health. 2. Correspondence between the Department of Health and Comisiún de Meán about AI Chatbots and youth.
