Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Johnny Mythen (Wexford, Sinn Fein)
We know other countries are racing to becoming AI hubs. Is there a danger that big tech companies’ interests will be put before the interest of the common good? Deputy Murphy referenced the use of the country’s energy supply, including environmental and human rights, and the fundamental ability to create inequality in society. I am worried about inequality in society. Will we have an elitist people who are trained in AI who will leave the rest of the population behind?
