Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion
Ms Hilary O'Meara:
I could not talk to education specifically because I am not an expert but we can do some research on it. Every country is figuring this out and there are some new things happening, even in Ireland. The universities here are looking at how they would respond. This is one of the big questions with which we have to grapple. I suspect it will change and will need to change. To go back to things we could do locally, if we were to convene a group that is focused on how the education system is going to be transformed, with people from business contributing to it, that would be incredibly helpful. As I said previously, it is early days and nobody has all of the answers. We can learn from what other countries are doing but then we have to decide what we are going to do here. I would love to see the Government taking action on this and convening a group to work on this because it is an area that is going to change and be disrupted.
