Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Dr. Patricia Scanlon:
I think that is the balancing act bit we talk about when it comes to energy and big tech. Would we ever be okay with it being transferred to another country? It feels like it cannot be stopped. AI is here. Do we want big tech here? Can the EU regulate big tech so it is in the interest of human rights and respect? That is what the EU AI Act was designed to do. It is a very difficult line they are trying to walk by trying to keep innovation in the EU and regulate it at the same time. There are huge amounts of pushback on that.
