Misbehavior on the NYC-Dublin portal that led to organizers shutting down the live stream link between the two cities — including New Jersey's only fan star flashing the screen — was “unavoidable,” the company behind the project said. is to say.

Joe Callahan said the Portals Organization is working on a high-tech fix, including an AI sensor that will blur the naughty stunts.

He hopes the 8-foot round screens will only be off “for a little while, not weeks, not months,” he told The Post.

The company, Callahan said, was “disappointed” by ne'er-do-wells like X-rated model Ava Louise, who showed her bare “potatoes” in the stream over the weekend.

Even before Eva Louise's stunt, attention-seekers on the Irish side of the portal grabbed headlines by flashing their backsides, swastikas and images of the 9/11 terror attacks on an 8-foot screen.

“I think Elon Musk put it best when he said: [it was] Inevitable,” Callahan said.

The organization was forced to shut down the livestream just days into its planned six-month run.

To address the issue, the team behind the portal is now working on new technologies to mitigate future stunts, Callahan said.

He said developers are working to install “proximity sensors and AI and computer vision technology” with the goal of blocking and blurring inappropriate images.

Other portals between Lithuania and Poland didn't have the same problems, Callahan said — and he attributed the mischievous behavior to different cultures.

“You have a high population density, which is very high,” he said of New York and Dublin – which has a population of about 544,000.

“And the cultures are also very different and very diverse. What is acceptable behavior in New York City is not considered acceptable behavior anywhere in the world,” he added with a laugh.

Despite the controversy, Callahan insisted that inappropriate visitors were a “tiny, tiny fraction” of those who used the portal – and said the team remained committed to its goal of “connecting humanity globally”.

He explained that the screens have been used to reconnect by loved ones across oceans and borders – and one couple even got engaged through the portal.

“A lot of positive things are happening. [over the portal] And I think ultimately the positive energy will prevail, it will overwhelm anything negative,” Callahan said.
