Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: Discussion
Mr. David Lee:
The experience in our business centre has been the same in terms of clients attending. It demystifies the technology when they get a chance to experience it. One can read and read, but it is when one starts doing that one not only understands the power of it, but also its limitations, which is as important. We touched briefly on the issue of hallucinations, etc. For example, this area puts a premium on skills like being able to ask good questions. If someone asks good questions, he or she gets good answers. If someone asks vague questions, he or she gets vague answers. We have come up with new terminology for old concepts. For example, it is “prompt engineering” now whereas we all grew up saying a core skill was being able to ask questions. Therefore, if someone can interpret or interrogate the model in an appropriate way, he or she will get more effective answers back.
