Mr. Liam O'Connor:

There are risks and rewards with everything. In the context of AI, we are in a period of unprecedented technical revolution and the opportunity to safely access information in RTÉ's archive is particularly valuable to the State and our citizens. Our political and social stability is fantastic. However, the risk or the flip side of that is if bad actors have access. We only have to look across the water to the British Library and access to its digital assets. It is very important that it is fully resourced. If we had a magic wand and made everything accessible to the public, it would also be accessible to bad actors. It is essential to fully resource the RTÉ archive so that it is at the forefront of protecting the State's interests. The point is well made. I am sure other experts on this panel would be better placed to comment on the other AI considerations.
