Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

I will zone in on a specific example. I appreciate the Minister of State is in the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment but we have agreed that the brief is wider because artificial intelligence touches most things. Among low-risk uses with no additional obligations is the use of AI in marketing. We know that AI used to create advertisements or art uses the work of others, sometimes copyrighted, to create that output. Does the Minister of State have any plans to regulate these machines or the businesses that use them with respect to the theft of intellectual property, IP, and artists' work?
