Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion

Mr. Eoin O'Reilly:

On the education system, we are seeing different approaches in various countries and, in fairness, we are seeing the seeds of this in Ireland as well. The most important skills for this discipline are the art of problem solving, curiosity and setting the mind to certain types of tasks. Early efforts around coding languages and programming become really important because they get our children to start thinking about approaches to problem solving, including breaking a problem down into smaller pieces. The other skills we should not forget as we work through from early education to university are the ones I mentioned earlier like communication, collaboration and additional technical skills.
