Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion

Mr. S?amus Dooley:

The use of AI has huge relevance in terms of journalism, staffing and editorial resourcing because what we are going to need is greater fact-checking, and greater emphasis on tackling misinformation and disinformation. AI has great potential in terms of statistical and other analysis but it also requires a huge amount of vigilance. We have seen examples of false stories already. Concerns about AI must be factored into everything. A number of media organisations have said "Yes" and the future is AI but what they have not done is tell us what they are going to do.
