Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Cyber Security Centre: Discussion

Mr. Joseph Stephens:

Artificial intelligence is already built into a lot of the products and services and has been for a number of years. There has been an explosion in the last 18 months since the launch of ChatGPT when it came into the public domain in large language models. AI has been around for many years and is in products. It is the way patterns can be detected with those huge amounts of data that no human could ingest. That is something we have done for a long time and will continue to do. As an aspect of the CORE project I was just speaking about, we are going to partner with a research institute to look at how large language models and artificial intelligence can be used for precisely that purpose that the Deputy mentioned, where it can draw out those patterns and perhaps provide a human-readable report to set out its understanding. It is an active area of research that we are funding and hopefully we will have results and a working prototype for that in the coming years.
